Join Darryl and his crew on this calm water cruise to explore some of the historic sites in the Beautiful Bay of Islands. Departing from Paihia we venture along the coast towards Opua. We then head to Okiato, passing Omata Estate Vineyards and Kororareka oyster farms along the way. A delicious lunch is served as we turn towards historic Russell, a picturesque waterfront village full of old homesteads, historic churches and wooden cottages. Here you have the option to disembark before the vessel heads back to Paihia. Should you choose to get off in Russell we will include your return ferry ticket back to Paihia.
