🧝‍♂️🎉 The naughty elf has finally settled down… sort of.
After finding a new friend, he grabbed a bottle of sparkling wine and decided Otehei Bay was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the good life. 🥂🌴

We can’t blame him — with guided kayak tours, kayak and paddle board hire, snorkel gear, and plenty of time to soak up the island vibes, it’s pretty easy to linger a little longer.

Come spend the day exploring, paddling, swimming, or simply unwinding in paradise… just don’t let the elf drink all the bubbles! ✨🌊

🧝‍♂️😱 Our naughty elf is at it again!
He snatched a fin this morning, convinced he was hopping on the Explore Ocean Adventure to the Hole in the Rock! 🚤🪨

Unfortunately for him… fins don’t count as a boarding pass. 😉

While he sorts out that little mix-up, we’re all set here at Otehei Bay with kayak hires, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and guided adventures ready to go.

Come on out, enjoy the sunshine, and keep an eye out — you never know where that mischievous elf will pop up next! 🌞🌊
