Explore Urupukapuka Island and Try Boom-Netting
A highlight of the cruise is the 1.5-hour stop at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island, a haven for both relaxation and adventure. You can take a refreshing swim, hire a kayak in summer, or follow one of the island’s coastal walking tracks for panoramic views. The beachfront café is a great place to unwind with a bite and a cold drink before heading back on board.
The final stretch of the trip offers something truly unique—boom-netting, where you ride in a net alongside the moving boat for a splashy thrill. It’s a crowd favourite and a fun way to cap off an action-packed day. Whether you're into nature, culture, or water-based excitement, the Cream Trip Super Cruise delivers it all.
