Discover our Northland Playground
Mokohinau Islands (The Mokes)
Remote, rugged, and beautifully untouched, the Mokohinau Islands – affectionately known as the Mokes – are a hidden treasure far off the Northland coast. With crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, and abundant marine life, this volcanic island group feels like another world. Perfect for adventurous souls, it’s a top spot for deep-sea fishing, birdwatching, and feeling truly off the grid.
Sail Rock
Rising dramatically from the sea like a stone ship under sail, Sail Rock is one of Northland’s most striking offshore landmarks. Surrounded by deep blue water teeming with marine life, it’s a favourite spot for fishing, photography, and soaking in the untouched beauty of the open ocean. Remote and majestic, this towering formation is a true highlight on any coastal journey.
Hen and Chicken Islands (Taranga Islands)
Wild, rugged, and rich with legends, the Hen and Chicken Islands are a spectacular sight offshore. These uninhabited volcanic isles offer great fishing, stunning coastal views, and potential sightings of seals, seabirds, and dolphins. We'll cruise the coastline, maybe try for a catch, and soak up the raw beauty of this remote marine reserve.
Poor Knights
A world-renowned marine reserve and dive paradise, the Poor Knights are as breathtaking above the water as they are below. Towering sea cliffs, caves, arches, and clear blue depths make this a must-see on any Northland adventure. Whether you’re snorkeling, cruising, or spotting marine life from the deck, the Poor Knights will leave you in awe.
Bream Bay
Fringed by white sand beaches and framed by rolling hills, Bream Bay is a serene stretch of coast known for its crystal-clear waters and relaxed pace. It’s a prime spot for dolphin encounters, light fishing, and simply cruising in calm seas. With views stretching from Ruakākā to Waipū, it’s a Northland classic.
Little Barrier Island (Hauturu)
A remote wildlife sanctuary rising from the sea, Little Barrier is a protected ecological treasure. While we can’t land due to its strict conservation status, the island’s misty cliffs, native forest, and abundant birdlife make it a magical sight from the water. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and seabirds – it’s a true “Jurassic Park” moment off the Northland coast.
Great Barrier Island (Aotea)
One of New Zealand’s last great wildernesses, Great Barrier Island offers secluded bays, lush bush-clad hills, and rich marine life. We’ll explore its stunning coastline by boat, drop anchor in a sheltered bay, and enjoy a laid-back lunch on board. For those after a real off-the-grid experience, this is where nature takes centre stage.
Mangawhai Heads
A coastal gem where rugged cliffs meet golden sand, Mangawhai Heads is the perfect spot to begin your ocean adventure. Cruise past the iconic sand dunes, spot seabirds gliding over the waves, and soak in the dramatic scenery. Whether it’s a relaxing day on the water or a scenic stop for lunch, Mangawhai delivers charm, character, and classic Kiwi beauty.
