Leave the crowds behind and discover the Bay of Islands on a small-group sailing cruise from Paihia. Limited to just 19 guests, you'll enjoy a relaxed 6-hour adventure aboard a spacious sailing catamaran.
Stretch out on bean bags, take in panoramic island views, and let our friendly local crew share stories about the region's history, wildlife, and hidden gems as you keep watch for dolphins, penguins, and other marine life.
Anchor in a secluded bay chosen for the day's conditions—often away from the larger tour boats. Spend around two hours swimming, snorkelling, stand-up paddle boarding, or exploring ashore on a self-guided island walk. Prefer to unwind? Simply relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings. A freshly prepared catered lunch is served onboard before a scenic sail back to Paihia.
