Board our luxury catamaran for the most popular cruise in the Bay of Islands. Our high speed vessel will whisk you on a comfortable journey out through game fishing waters to the Cape Brett Lighthouse.

Next is Motukokako Island and the famous "Hole in the Rock"; the excitement grows as we make a passage through the Hole and on to the majestic Grand Cathedral Cave.

On the return journey we take our time and meander through the inner islands.

The crew share with you local history and ecology and you will often see a variety of marine wildlife including Whales, Seals, Dolphins, Penguins, and other sea and bird life.

All cruises visit Urupukapuka Island where a range of delicious snacks and meals is available at the Zane Grey Cafe. Not included in the cruise price.

View sandy beaches, beautiful bays and marine wildlife as your skipper gives an informative commentary. Only Fullers includes an island stopover on beautiful Urupukapuka Island where there are numerous activities. 

Enjoy one of the scenic walks, a swim or ride the Subsea Adventure or browse through the Maori Arts and Crafts centre or relax in the cafe.

This cruise has exclusive commercial landing rights at Otehei Bay, Urupukapuka Island. You can swim and snorkel in the safety of Otehei Bay or relax on the beach and take in the magic of the island.

Optional extras include a 20 minute Nautilus Submarine Adventure (Adult NZ$10 or Child NZ$5, payable direct). Also choose to stay on the island longer with an optional extension to return at 4:30pm or 5:30pm (NZ$10, payable direct)
