This trip was such good value for a full day out at sea, time to sit back and enjoy the sun and scenery. The crew were friendly and helpful, the lady skipper excellent and we were lucky enough to see dolphins and brown seals! Highly recommended

What a great day, the weather helped as it was superb. The trip around the bay gave a great vision of how many islands that there are. The information provided about the history, houses and area was spot on. The boat was comfortable and the service friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

The captain neglected to check the tides the day we went. We got stuck on an island for about three hours and it was suppose to be an hour stop. The crew was not prepared and had to borrow a random 6 person dingy from some sailor that happen to be in the bay. We were then transferred to a bigger dingy and then finally taken to our cruise boat. Mind you, there was over 30 passengers on board. Once everyone made it on the cruise the captain announced that we were behind schedule and were not able to swim with the dolphins as planned. She reported there was no pods spotted and that we wouldn't have stopped anyway. That sure is a convenient answer. Returning back to land late....Fullers tried to make up for their mistake by giving everyone on board a free drink and 20 discount on tickets once we returned to land. I would have rather swam with the dolphins.

It was a great day! We stopped at many different locations. The crew were really welcoming and helpful - the captain was BRILLIANT! She added so much interest and fun to the day with her commentary, with where she took us and how she piloted the boat. A day to remember and excellent value for money!

Best boat ride we've ever been on. We made it through hole in the rock. However, didn't get the swim with the dolphins.

Super day with stunning scenery and dolphin spotting. Bay of Islands has to be visited during any trip to New Zealand. The colour on the sea is amazing.

Boat captain/commentator was really good....especially when he sneaked through the Hole In The Rock at a SAFE point in the tides and winds when all other boat tours had said No that day! Note to future travelers: do NOT go into the swimming net at side of boat with skimpy 2 piece suits. You WILL lose something! Loved the dolphin sightings!!

Great trip. The captain went out of his normal route to find us a pod of killer whales orcas which we stayed and watched for about an hour. The experience was great being so close to these majestic mammals. The rest of the trip was great with the captain giving us a running commentary the whole way round. Well worth the money

What a great day out! Saw dolphins as we were coming home after a dull weather day in Paihia turned out to be glorious around the islands. Brilliant and knowledgeable crew. _br/_ Will go again if I go back to the bay of islands and recommend you do too.

Fully recommend this trip. When we went out the captain Billy told us that he was going off schedule because he had been told of a pod of killer whales in the area he wanted to find for us. He duly found them and the experience was amazing Billy seemed to be able to play with them and encourage them closer to the boat. Went through hole in wall in quite a swell which showed the captain's skill
