Obregado and Kam Sia Christian and Yun.....a great day with you guys and glad the Tutukaka lunch stop worked out well! All the best Mike
My friend and I had an amazing day sailing with Mike and his crew. Mike is efficient and organised with a great sense of humour. He really turned the weather on for us and we saw dolphins and penguins. This is the second time I've sailed on Gungha II and I believe that this small group tour offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Hi Nikki Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad the stars aligned and we were able to turn on a great day for the two of you. We're off on a road trip with my brother and welcome your advice re Hihi etc.. All the best Mike
The sailingtrip was very good. Skipper with a lot off experience. Small refreshments and lunch included.
Thank you Robert.....yes wonderful sailing yesterday with perfect winds! Nga mihi Mike
We booked this day out as we wanted to experience the Bay of Islands in the way many NewZealanders do.... in a yacht. The Gungha 11 is a large and comfortable yacht, easy to board and exit. You get to see how a yacht functions and it's exilerating when it gets up speed. The skipper has been sailing the world all his life and is extremely knowledgable and safety conscious. Luck is very good, too. I can highly recommend this day out.
Thank you David We had a great group on the day and that is a big help also! All the best Mike
Had an amazing day sailing! We saw dolphins and penguins up close!
Hi Jinwen Thank you for your kind review. Yes that was an awesome day and so lucky with all the Dolphins! Nga mihi Mike at sea

Awesome trip!
Really chill and great trip. Captain Mike is super nice and has lots of interesting stories to tell! Nice snacks and food were provided. It was one of our best day during our holiday, 100% recommended. 非常棒的行程,如果願意跟船長Mike聊天他有非常多有趣的航海故事,船長也很熱心的提供我們很多旅行景點推薦。 整個航行非常的放鬆,風景很美。中間停留的無人島很漂亮,可以看到魟魚!聽說運氣好的時候還可以遇到海豚跟企鵝。 一百分推薦這個行程!
