Cruising past the stunning shores of Matakana Island on a sunny Tauranga afternoon! 🚤☀️

Did you know this local gem right across the harbour has some pretty unique facts?

🌊 Harbour Shield: This 20-kilometre barrier island is what protects Tauranga Harbour from the open swells of the Pacific Ocean.

🌴 Two Sides to the Story: It features a sheltered inner side filled with farmland and orchards, while the ocean side boasts a dense 10,000-acre pine forest.

🐦 Wildlife Haven: The ocean-side beaches are a nesting ground for the endangered New Zealand dotterel (tūturiwhatu).

Come onboard our harbour cruises when season starts and you just may be able to make a day out of it with dropoffs and pickup on matakana island!

Cruising past Tangaroa, the Māori god of the sea, guarding the entrance to the Tauranga Harbour 🌊✨

Every time we pass this iconic landmark at the base of Mauao, it’s a little reminder of how lucky we are to share these beautiful, calm waters. Standing proud at the harbour entrance, he welcomes all who travel out to sea and protects those returning home.

We had a very special, extra-aerodynamic passenger on board Kewpie. First boat ride for this greyhound and we are so honoured! We love welcoming well-behaved, four-legged mates on board our cruises. After all, family-fun means the WHOLE family!
