Looking for a great day trip from Whangarei? The Bay of Islands is only around an hour’s drive north, and Bayscapes offers a memorable way to spend the day once you get there, sailing aboard a spacious 40ft catamaran out of Paihia.
Choose a shared charter and join other travellers for a relaxed, social day on the water, or book a private charter for exclusive use of the boat with your own family or friends. Either option includes time ashore on an unspoilt island, with the chance to swim, snorkel, paddleboard or wander a short bush track.
Along the way, keep an eye out for dolphins, little blue penguins and native birdlife. A tasty lunch is served onboard, with dietary requirements happily catered for.
It’s the sort of day trip that makes the drive well worth it, sailing calm waters, exploring a secluded island and coming home with stories to tell. Bayscapes is run by a small local team who know the Bay well and love sharing it with visitors from Whangarei and beyond.
