Thanks for the review, so great you had a good time.
Trip was great - the crew were fantastic and the island spot was beautiful. Dolphins on the way back were icing on the cake :)
Hey Stephen, Cheers for the review we are so glad you enjoyed the trip.
Staff is very friendly & the experience was great. Definitely will be coming back.
We booked it around 1 week ago. We went to paihia from Hamilton. And they just called me on the day at 8:30 to let me know that they have cancelled it due to short number of people. they didn't bother to let us know at least a day before. All other cruise leave at 9 O'clock in the morning. So I had to wait till 2 for another cruise with other company. We have reached hamilton after midnight. My 8 months old was so tired. It has ruined our day. I will never book anything with them.
Great activities laid back staff lots of fun
