Despite weather not the best we all were provided the best service
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.
The whole trip was awesome. The crew was courteous and helpful. The guide was funny and informative. Definitely recommended!
I fully recommend it! We had fun and the view was amazing :)
