The Bay of Islands is a beautiful area and what better way to see it than by boat. The 6 hours flew by as we cruised around the bay. Although we didn’t see dolphins, we saw little blue penguins, gannets and rays. It was great to see how respectful Vanessa and her crew are to the wildlife. With a stop at a beach, with an opportunity to snorkel, it really is a great way to spend the day. Good value too.

We enjoyed the cruise with very friendly staff. Although we couldn't see dolphins/orcas, we enjoyed swimming/snorkeling. Thank you!

We absolutely LOVED our sailing adventure! The crew was so wonderful, personable and knowledgeable. I felt like they each took the time to have conversations with every guest. The catamaran itself is beautiful and clean. I was blown away that within the first hour of sailing we had a 50+ pod of dolphins surrounding the boat! We enjoyed chatting with other guests and got to stop at a beautiful island to adventure around and snorkel. There was a great lunch when we got back on the catamaran and toured around a bit longer. 6hrs went by so fast we wanted to continue on for another 6hrs+ ;) I would give this tour 10 stars if I could!

Enjoyed lunch cooked to perfection with a comfortable sized group of pleasant new friends!!!! A beautiful vessel operated by Carino’s experienced staff. A “must do”!!!!!

It really was a lovely cruise, the crew were so friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. It's a small boat with just 16 of us on board, plenty of space to move around, bins for everyone that wanted them was a lovely touch. We were unlucky in that all we saw were a few small penguins at sea, the dolphins had obviously heard we were arriving! One slight negative however is that the bbq was over hyped in the description, essentially it was a hot dog with onions, more than a little underwhelming, perhaps they might consider adjusting the wording. But, I absolutely would recommend the cruise to others, it's a beautiful area and the crew take conservation & care for the wildlife very seriously which is great to see.
