Full Description

There’s nothing better than exploring a remote island after sailing into a beautiful bay – it’s all part of the adventure!

Explore the Bay of Islands under sail, cruising among the many islands we take you on a journey like no other. Enjoy the stunning scenery on the way to our island beach destination.

The boat anchors right up close to the beach where you can step off and enjoy a delicious packed lunch at a stunning picnic spot of your choice. There are walking tracks which can you can follow to find picturesque views, soak up the sounds of the bird song. For the water babies, snorkelling and paddle boarding is top on the list of things to do. Enjoy a refreshing swim or simply dig your toes into the sand and relax – the choice is yours!

There’s a wealth of wildlife to see when sailing in the Bay of Islands.  From the deck of Kopiko you may get the chance to see a range of seabirds, stingrays, seals playing and penguins are often popping up. There’s a chance that you might see some dolphins too! 

Learn about Project Island Song wildlife sanctuary as we reach our island destination.  You will experience rare and endangered bird species on your island adventures, thanks to the effort of Project Island Song restoration project we are blessed with abundant birdsong in the beautiful regenerating native bush. A portion of your Island Hopper ticket price is donated to Project Island song.

Once we’ve finished our island adventures we set sail again, making the most of our beautiful sea breezes on the home run.  So watch the wind fill the sails, kick back, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility – a perfect end to our Day Sailing adventures.
