Escape for a day to beautiful Kawau Island on a stunning scenic cruise and discover a pristine wildlife reserve surrounded by the calm clear waters of the Hauraki Gulf...
It was a brilliant day out for Mum. She is 81 years old and not as mobile as she used to be, so this trip was perfect. We were able to sit on the top deck with 360° views as we went into the scenic bays of Kawau Island. The staff were extremely helpful and helped Mum on and off the boat. We had the salmon lunch on board, The salmon was nicely cooked but the portions could be a-bit bigger, it came with a bread roll, small salad and can of drink. It was great to be able to get off at Mansion Bay and have a walk around on the island
Informative, historical and great day out.
This cruise was great - comfortable with plenty of indoor & outdoor seating, on time and very informative of the local area. It was also significantly cheaper than booking directly, so excellent value for money.
Brought the deal at half price Weather on and off Had a great time , sites , bird life and even a dolphin. We’d been trying to find a trip that would allow for one members injury that prohibited walking any distance . This was it . For mobile visitors there are plenty of walks and the water looked amazing (if only we’d taken togs )

Kawau Island
There was a little rain on the day we went to Kawau - but that meant that we didn't have the crowds of people on the boat which was great. The cruise in and around the island was lovely and thoroughly enjoyable. We ordered the meals, my son had the American hotdog which he liked and me and my husband both got the steak which we enjoyed too. We really liked touring the Mansion house on Kawau Island and then we went for a wander around which was great and finished off with some ice creams at the cafe. I would absolutely recommend anyone to do this trip.
