A must do in Paihia

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely wonderful trip, very very highly recommended. So many fun activities and beautiful sights. Skipper Erin and crew Jona, Chloe, and Liberty were simply the best. Thanks guys!

22hours of fun and adventure!

Published on Feb, 2024

Wow, what an experience! There was so much to do, a cool boat design, lots of games, musical instruments and a bar, the boat was well kitted out - the only time you needed your phone was for the photo taking. I loved the fishing the most, there were constant bites on your line, a handful of keepers and a massive one which got away. I also enjoyed the snorkelling, night kayaking, seeing the bioluminence at night, lagoon swim, Island walk and learning about the general information about the area. Food was filling and delicious too! I still have adventure withdrawals thinking about it all. I had so much fun. Thanks to the Skipper - Erin and First Mate - Sarah for making the trip so memorable. Wish I could work a job like that! Definitely recommend this trip for people who love adventure and new experiences. 10/10✌️

A must do!

We went with a family of 5 in a family cabin on the overnight cruise and had the best time! Great company, great crew, great food, great activities in the most beautiful of back drops. Don't think, just book it!! You will not regret it.

So so amazing!

Published on Feb, 2024

We did the overnight cruise and it was absolutely amazing!!! 100% would recommend everyone do this. Our guide Byron and skipper Erin were knowledgeable and friendly. The night kayaking to see the bioluminescence was so incredible and we even saw a shooting star and heard a kiwi! We caught some fish, saw a hammerhead shark, a seal, and a dolphin!! The meals were great. Snorkelling and paddle boarding and hiking the island were all fantastic. This was the highlight of our 2 week NZ trip for my husband and I. It was such an authentic experience, definitely worth the money!

Highlight of my Trip!

Published on Jan, 2024

I went on the Rock Adventure Cruise during my 2 weeks in NZ and it was the highlight of my trip! The staff is amazing, so kind and helpful! They ensure everyone feels welcome and answers any questions. The food was also great and had a nicely stocked bar. There was also lots of agenda items, including fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. You can't beat the views of the bay from the boat. This was also my first time on an overnight cruise and it was quite an experience. I will love to come back again, if I am ever in NZ in the future!
