Island Hopper Day Sailing Cruise
A Day In The Bay, the Kiwi Way! Come join the crew for a magical day cruise in the Bay of Islands. Trips depart daily from the Paihia Beach front, cruising amongst our beautiful marine playground aboard Kopiko, our 33ft performance catamaran. With lots of deck space to spread out and relax, grab a bean bag or take a sit on a padded bench seat and chalk up some leisure time. You won't get lost in the crowd, you'll feel like part of the crew!

During our 2 hour island stopover, the boat anchors right on the beach where you can step off to explore a beautiful wildlife sanctuary island and immerse yourself in nature.
* Go for a snorkel/swim
* Try stand up paddle boarding
