Sundowner Sailing Cruise— 2 Hour Sail, Swim Stop | Bay of Islands

There's a special kind of evening that only happens on the water — the light going gold, the sail filling, the noise of the day dropping away behind you. The Sundowner Cruise is two hours of exactly that. Departing directly from Paihia beachfront at 5pm — the boat comes to you, pulling up to the beach so you step aboard from the shoreline — No hustle of a busy wharf, no waiting in line. We head off for our swim destination, the crew anchors in a sheltered bay for a swim stop — calm water, no crowds. From here you'll sail the inner Bay of Islands as the sun is going down. Just the sea breeze, the sound of wind in the sails, and a view that earns its reputation. A complimentary non-alcoholic drink is included. You'll be back in Paihia around 7pm, in plenty of time for dinner. This is a premium cruise with limited capacity — maximum 20 guests — which offers a fun and engaging experience where you actually get to feel like part of the crew, not lost in the crowd.
