Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud ☁️
Spring can be a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to the weather, lately it's been beautiful blue sky sunny days, warmer than expected temperatures, and today... you guessed it, the bubbly white cloud.
But just in behind that bubbly white cloud is the blue sky and sunshine, so we don't let a bit of cloud get us down. We have our slice of paradise who's beauty shines far beyond the mood of the sky.
The Bay of Islands is rich in culture, history and landscapes people travel across the world 🌏 to experience as one of their must see destinations.
The sailing itself is an experience that is hard to pass up, feel the wind in your hair, salty splashes, really makes you feel alive and appreciate nature, and today is absolutely one of those days!
Our island destination is a wildlife sanctuary for many of our rare endemic species, sadleback, whitehead, robin, red crowned parakeet, kiwi, gecko's, giant weta, and many more!
Our lunchtime stopover is 2 hours of exploring here, take your pick, snorkel, SUP, hike, or relax on the beach with a picnic lunch.
Our crew are all passionate sailors who love tall tales and good humor, enjoy helping people learn something new, or have a go at that stand up paddleboarding they've always wanted to try, but most of all it's the people connection is what drives the success of their day.
There's more to a Barefoot Sailing Adventure than a perfect sunny day. So if you're looking for more than your average boat tour experience on your travels to the Bay of Islands don't look past spending the day with the Barefoot crew on the Island Hopper Cruise.
And don't wait for the perfect sunny day, you'll be missing out on so much more!
