We spent today with John and his crew and had an awesome day. Loved the boat (The Rock), loved the crew, loved the snorkeling, loved the kayaking, loved the food and the beer was cold. If you haven’t gathered yet, we loved it

We got a bit of a shock when we arrived (2 couples)as we were so old compared with every one else but we were enthusiastically welcomed and had a great day. Wasn't going to snorkel as thought too cold but with a wet suit was fine. My 70 year old husband and I kayaked and our friends also. We had a go at the paddle boarding which was more than most of the younger ones, great fun.Perfect weather, great scenery, excellent crew, good food and company, what more could you want. Good value for money and made us feel young again.

My partner and I are on our way back to Auckland after a great trip on board The Rock! We were in Paihia for a special anniversary and decided to book the day cruise with lunch and we weren't disappointed... We went snorkelling, kayaking and had a great hike in between. The staff were very friendly and we thought it was excellent value. We will definitely return the next time we have visitors and probably do the overnight trip!

What a great day it was and that was even before the dolphins came to play ! Pete and his “deckie” OJ picked us up at Paihia and gave us a fantastic little water taxi trip across the bay to meet the RockBoat , giving us lots of local info . Then to RocktheBoat . This day exceeded all our expectations . Nick and his crew were superb , welcoming , friendly , all so easy to chat with , generously sharing their experiences . This trip was as leisurely and relaxing as you wished it to be with lots of lovely island coastal scenery but it also gave you the opportunities for Great snorkelling , kayaking and a beautiful little cove to relax/play on . Boat facilities were good as was the food and refreshments . Would do all this again , just for the above , a great day . Then with just 20 minutes before we were due to go ...the dolphins turned up to play . Our captain Nick said “ we are staying , we are going nowhere “. And so we stayed for an extra hour with the dolphins Swimming around u

Superbe journée en plus le soleil était là. Les membres de l'équipage sont au TOP. A recommander. Seuls regrets de ne pas avoir pris la nuit aussi.
