Bay Of Islands Overnight Cruise
Treat yourself on this Bay of Islands overnight cruise. Enjoy cruising the pristine tranquil waters of the Bay of Islands as you 
watch the sun rise and set from the privacy of your own sea view state room on this ultimate 2-day experience.
You can either choose to join the cruise in Paihia or include coach transfers from Auckland.
Step aboard Ipipiri, the newly built, four storey state of the art small ship offering stylish interiors and 30 state rooms.
The rooms are spread over two decks and all include full sized ensuites and seaviews allowing you to take in the Bay of Islands' spectacular scenery from the privacy of your own cabin.
The two other decks offer a spacious sundeck and a 70-seat restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining and bar.
Once on board, you will be quickly submerged into the region's breathtaking beauty. Learn about the Bay of Islands historical and cultural significance as Ipipiri cruise meanders through the 144 islands of the Bay.
When the ships anchors, there are opportunities to take part in many activities including snorkeling, kayaking and swimming.
As the sun sets behind the islands of the bay and your cruise ship finds a sheltered cove to moor overnight, the ambiance transforms aboard Ipipiri.
New Zealand wines, local cuisine and the knowledgeable crew help create the perfect setting for an unforgettable exploration of the Bay of Islands.
