Schöne Halbtagestour
Die Tour gibt einen schönen Einblick in die Bay of Islands. Das Boot war in Ordnung und auch für Kinder geeignet. Für meinen Geschmack waren zu viele weitere Touristen an Board. Deswegen "nur" 4 Sterne.

Best experience in the Bay of Islands
We loved this trip out to Cape Brett and to beautiful Urupukapuka Island for an all inclusive lunch stop. It was perfect weather. Very informative commentary from a friendly boat crew. Great dolphin encounter! Urupukapuka is simply stunning. We got off the boat at historic Russell on the return trip to Paihia and used the complimentary ferry tickets to cross over to Paihia later in the day. This really was a highlight of our few days in this beautiful region.
