Beat the traffic heading north and jump onboard our premium cruise vessel Ocean Explorer, departing central Auckland, to cruise in style up to Kawau Island - some would say the jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf.
Cruise up the coastline admiring the spectacular landscape from the water, stopping of at a quiet bay for a swim off the boat before continuing on our way. Enjoy a barbeque lunch onboard before disembarking at Kawau to explore the island.
Kawau provides a true slice of New Zealand history with Mansion House, copper mines and some surprising wildlife - there is plenty to discover here. Alternatively park up under the shade of a tree and enjoy the birdsong.
This experience is suitable for the whole family to discover Kawau Island.
Inclusions:
- 1.5 hours cruising each way
- 3.5 hour island stop at Kawau Island
- Lunch - barbeque cooked and served onboard the vessel
- Option to swim off boat at a quiet bay - our vessel has purpose built access to the water for safe entry and exit
