There is no better way to explore the magical Bay of Islands than by boat. Hop on board Kopiko - meaning ‘to zig zig, meander and wander’ in Maori, with your skippers Luke and Rachael. A Turissimo 10, 33ft performance catamaran, perfect for exploring the many islands dotted around and enjoying the coastline views.
- Spend a day sailing the spectacular Bay of Waters
- Explore over 140 islands together with Luke and Rachael
- The company is committed to sustainability
- Enjoy calm pristine water, marine wildlife and stunning scenery
Whether it’s your first time sailing or you’re a seasoned professional, Luke and Rachael will provide a fun and safe day out on the waters of the far north. As you cruise the waters, keep a lookout for wildlife including stingrays, seals, penguins and dolphins!
Your skippers are committed to sustainability and are involved in the Project Island Song. A project dedicated to restoring and replanting native bush and relocating endangered animals to these protected islands. A portion of your ticket price will be donated to this project.
You will anchor at one of your skipper’s favourite islands for a picnic lunch. Grab one of the bean bags and relax on the deck. Dive in the water for a swim, snorkel or paddleboard. Explore the walking tracks on the island and spot the native birds. A great day out with friends!
