Description
Escape the crowds on an island getaway around the Bay of Islands. During the trip you will explore the Bay of Islands, discover the underwater world and play your way. With island walks, wildlife spotting, snorkeling, paddle boarding and the boat cruise there is something for everyone to enjoy and it's up to you to do as much or as little as you like.
As you cruise along the sheltered coastline towards the outter islands be sure to keep an eye out for local wildlife before your first stop on Robertson Island aka the famous Twin Lagoons. On the island you will walk amongst the flora and fauna to the islands look out point with amazing 360 degree views. A reward for your efforts awaits you after your walk with coffee, tea and biscuits on the beach. Explore or relax before boarding the boat for your trip to the next island.
As your tour continues keep a look out for marine life and shore birds that inhabit the area including dolphins. On the second island its time for the activities! Explore underwater reefs by snorkeling, try out stand up paddle boarding, walk the islands trails, enjoy a swim or relax on the beach.
