Evening Glow Worm Kayak Tour

Highly recommended, fun yet safety conscious tour suitable for all ages. Fantastic experience, for my first ever glow worm kayaking evening tour. Out guides Jono and Emile, ran things like clockwork, oozing with professionalism. Clearly both are highly experienced kayakers. There was no waiting around, everything was so well organised that our evening flowed calmly and smoothly without a hiccup. The wine and nibbles set the scene right from the start. I am an experienced kayaker so didn’t need any additional assistance. We had a few in our group who had never kayaked. They were given all the guidance they needed to relax and thoroughly enjoy the misty kayak to and from the glow worm cave. And man, that cave blew my mind!!! Thanks for a fantastic evening and a definite highlight of my North Island holiday.

So adorable

It was awesome day, we saw heap dolphins also hammerhead shark, penguins and nearly midday cruise stopped near small island for relax as I swam pretty close with seals, so awesome day but just one thing we wouldn’t know on cruise got nothing for us, the ticket full price excld everything! So please list detail for customer must bring your own lunch due to we would like to buy some meal but on cruise got frozen meal but was expired!!! So we have one day trip and have no food for whole day, so I might say it was my fault not prepared food but Bookme must revise your advertise include all detail about that. Anyway all great :)

Great Last day of 2017!

We had a great day out on the ocean! The staff were fantastic and ensured an unforgettable experience. We saw hundreds of dolphins and spent almost 2 hours at an island, where we had lunch and enjoyed some swimming. I would definately recommend this to anyone!

When I saw people had said it was the best day ever I never believed that it would be exactly that. Beautiful weather. Great staff. And to beat all of that, whales? Didn’t see much for the first 3 hours and then it all came at once! Highly recommended!?

Really enjoyed the full day boat trip, great views around the Bay of Plenty, saw a couple of penguins, some flying fish, lots of seabirds and several pods of amazing dolphins swimming right up close to the boat.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Hubby ordered the Karaage Chicken Burger and said was great and the chicken was real tender. I ordered the pork belly bites and potato pave bites, they were both delicious! (especially the pork belly, had so much flavour) Lots on the menu, so we will be back to try them all. Woman that served us was very friendly.

Great food, great place to eat, love the atmosphere. I come from working in hospitality and understand big groups are important and bringing in more money that night. But unfortunately they were all seated after me but got all their drinks before me, settling them was more important which again I understand, my boss would tell me to focus on bigger groups more but yes that let's down smaller tables and we waited about 20 minutes just for two soft drinks.. Due to them taking all drink orders then bringing them their drinks.. Other than that, enjoyed my food and the experience was great, loved the mini junior stone grill. We will definitely be back. Just perhaps when larger groups are booked in, just one extra waiter on, can ensure no customers get a bit left behind.. Thanks :)

Had a great evening snack here. Was nice to have the Jazz festival going on in the background. We did not order a Main course as no one attended us for some time even after we were finished with our appetisers but can’t blame them completely as we could see only 2 waitstaff catering to quite a few guests. Will definitely give it a second go on a quieter day.
