If you are looking for a great way to spend a weekend you have found it! A mixture of fun outdoor activities and relaxation beautiful scenery. Enjoyed being the only kiwis on the trip listening to all the fantastic adventures of the visitors from abroad.

I had a really great time aboard the Rock. Well organized, safe, and lots of cool activities on the ship. Kayaking, Snorkeling, target shooting, fishing, great food and the staff was simply amazing! Thanks Melissa, Norm, and the rest of the crew for making this a memorable experience. Will definitely recommend it to anyone staying around the Bay of Islands.

We had the best time with our family. We Kayak with dolphins and had the best time with the staff who are really friendly and its very memorable. Fantastic value and the total Kiwi experience. Norm is great and my Son adores Richard. Can't wait to go back again.

Another great adventure this is the third time aboard the boat and just as good as the first, come give it a go you won't be disapointed thanks Ben, James,Richard and Norm for a great trip. P.s Norm keep practicing at pool for my next trip.

The crew were full of enthusiasm and local knowledge, making not only for a fun but also... More

My husband and I were worried that we'd be the old couple (we are 50) but our group of 19 seemed to range from 20-70! Couples, singles & groups of... More

What a great way to cruise The Bay of Islands. Duck shooting, fishing, night kayaking, swimming, walking, and snorkelling. This together with a BBQ and a very friendly and engaging crew made the trip very memorable.

While on a tour in the North Island I upgraded onto the Rock The Boat overnight cruise. Best decision ever!!! The staff were all really friendly and make you feel welcome before you've even boarded the boat. There are endless activities over the 22(ish) hours to suit everyone. Was my favourite part of my new zealand travels and I highly... More
