Your Bay of Islands cruise Itinerary
The journey begins as you step aboard The Rock, a converted car ferry with plenty of character and a laid-back, social vibe. The crew are welcoming and friendly, making you feel instantly at home. Once you’re settled in, the adventure kicks off with target shooting off the back of the boat (yes, really!) before heading out for an evening cruise across the Bay.
Dinner is served on board, and afterwards, you can try your luck at night kayaking or even spot phosphorescence in the water if conditions are right – a magical experience you won’t forget. Later, wind down with a drink, some stargazing, and great company.
The next morning, you’ll wake up to stunning views of the Bay of Islands before heading out for more exploring. Activities often include snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding or visiting one of the many beautiful islands. Whether you’re adventurous or just after some downtime, there’s something for everyone.
What really sets The Rock apart is its unique mix of experiences and the fun, social atmosphere. It’s perfect for solo travellers, couples, families, and groups of friends. You’ll leave not only with great memories but probably with a few new friends, too.
The Rock Overnight Cruise is all about making the Bay of Islands feel accessible, exciting, and a little bit different from your average sightseeing tour. If you want an adventure with a Kiwi twist, this is one for the list.
