A week from Auckland north to the celebrated Bay of Islands, a subtropical cruising ground of forested isles, dramatic headlands and clear water. This route pairs vineyard islands and the City of Sails with the maritime paradise of the far north. Expect 140 islands and the famous Hole in the Rock, near-landlocked harbours and dolphin-rich water, a beautiful and varied voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
