About

You will spend half a day cruising and exploring the pristine Bay of Plenty coastline and islands with Bay Explorer where we will showcase the amazing diversity of marine wildlife including dolphins swimming along side the boat, seasonal seabirds, penguins, seals, whales, sunfish, school fish, sharks, orca and even turtles. A genuine kiwi experience in nature for that once in a lifetime wildlife encounter. The Captain and experienced crew lust to share their marine knowledge with you and will provide fascinating commentary and point out all that they see. So you won’t miss a thing. Don’t forget your camera as we are able to get up close to wildlife, making it a photographer’s dream. Licensed bar onboard, food options available at booking
