Connect with Nature and the Ocean
The Hauraki Gulf is alive with stories, from its rich marine life to the cultural history of its islands. Onboard guides share fascinating knowledge about oceanography and conservation efforts that protect this incredible environment. It’s a chance to learn while surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the sound of sails in the wind.
Wildlife encounters are part of the magic, with opportunities to spot both resident and migratory species. Guests are also invited to take the helm alongside skipper Bruce, gaining hands-on sailing experience on the open sea. Whether you’re actively involved or simply soaking up the views, every moment on this eco adventure is crafted to connect you deeply with nature.
