Sundowner Sailing Cruise— 2 Hour Sail, Swim Stop | Bay of Islands
Sundowner Sailing Cruise— 2 Hour Sail, Swim Stop | Bay of Islands
Sundowner Evening Cruise
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
There's a special kind of evening that only happens on the water — the light going gold, the sail filling, the noise of the day dropping away behind you. The Sundowner Cruise is two hours of exactly that.
Departing directly from Paihia beachfront at 5pm — the boat comes to you, pulling up to the beach so you step aboard from the shoreline — No hustle of a busy wharf, no waiting in line.
We head off for our swim destination, the crew anchors in a sheltered bay for a swim stop — calm water, no crowds.
From here you'll sail the inner Bay of Islands as the sun is going down. Just the sea breeze, the sound of wind in the sails, and a view that earns its reputation.
A complimentary non-alcoholic drink is included. You'll be back in Paihia around 7pm, in plenty of time for dinner.
This is a premium cruise with limited capacity — maximum 20 guests — which offers a fun and engaging experience where you actually get to feel like part of the crew, not lost in the crowd.
Itinerary
Bay of Islands(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeA beautiful evening sailing cruise enjoying some of the best sights in the Bay of Islands as the day is winding down.Opua
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeDeparting at 5pm, the crew push off from the beach and we set off for a swim destination and slip into a sheltered anchorage at the entrance to the Opua inlet, out of the breeze, where the water goes glassy and the bush comes right down to the shoreline. This is the swim stop. The crew drop the ladder off the back and you can jump in from the deck or climb down, the water in the Bay through summer sits around 20-22°C, and after a day of sightseeing it's the kind of swim you remember. If you'd rather stay on board with a drink and watch, that works just as well, be our guest!Russell(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeAfter the swim we set the sail. The engines go off, the sails fill, and the only sound is the water lapping the hulls. That's when the real magic begins. From here we sail the Bay of Islands inlet, meander past quaint anchorages, then track north into the wider Bay of Islands, along the Russell peninsula and the Tapeka coastline with the outer islands opening up ahead.Waitangi Treaty Grounds(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeDepending on the wind and swell that evening, the skipper picks the best line, sometimes out towards Moturoa Island sometimes tucking in closer to the mainland cliffs at Waitangi where you will see the Waitangi flag post at the Treaty Grounds from the sea. No two evenings run exactly the same route, which is really the beauty of sailing.Paihia Harbour(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeThe run back towards Paihia harbor on the evening sea breeze at golden hour. The light at this end of the day is what does it, the hills go gold, the water turns that deep blue you only get after five o'clock, and the wind usually settles just enough to make the sail home feel effortless.Paihia Beach(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeWe're back on the Paihia beach around 7pm, just in time for your dinner plans.
