See it all on the Bay’s most iconic cruise! This full-day experience has something for everyone, from island stops to dolphin watching.

Explore the inner Bay of Islands on the most extensive historical cruise in the Bay. Enjoy lunch, a swim or a coastal walk on Urupukapuka Island during your island stop at Otehei Bay. Then set off in search of dolphins and other marine life on our Hole in the Rock Cruise. Enjoy the spectacular views as we journey right to the end of the Cape Brett Peninsula, to the famous Hole in the Rock on Motukokako Island.

Back in 1927, Albert Fuller acquired a contract to deliver cream and other goods between island farms and the mainland. Visitors began to come along for the ride, and ‘the Cream Trip’ became a must-do activity. Today we still follow the original route, delivering mail and supplies to the islands while we show you the very best of the Bay, from its historical highlights to its most scenic spots. Ninety years on, the Cream Trip cruise is still the best way to see the Bay.
