22hours of fun and adventure! - Wow, what an experience! There was so much to do, a cool boat design, lots of games, musical instruments and a bar, the boat was well kitted out - the only time you needed your phone was for the photo taking. I loved the fishing the most, there were constant bites on your line, a handful of keepers and a massive one which got away. I also enjoyed the snorkelling, night kayaking, seeing the bioluminence at night, lagoon swim, Island walk and learning about the general information about the area. Food was filling and delicious too!
I still have adventure withdrawals thinking about it all. I had so much fun. Thanks to the Skipper - Erin and First Mate - Sarah for making the trip so memorable. Wish I could work a job like that! Definitely recommend this trip for people who love adventure and new experiences. 10/10✌️

So so amazing! - We did the overnight cruise and it was absolutely amazing!!! 100% would recommend everyone do this. Our guide Byron and skipper Erin were knowledgeable and friendly. The night kayaking to see the bioluminescence was so incredible and we even saw a shooting star and heard a kiwi! We caught some fish, saw a hammerhead shark, a seal, and a dolphin!! The meals were great. Snorkelling and paddle boarding and hiking the island were all fantastic. This was the highlight of our 2 week NZ trip for my husband and I. It was such an authentic experience, definitely worth the money!

Highlight of my Trip! - I went on the Rock Adventure Cruise during my 2 weeks in NZ and it was the highlight of my trip! The staff is amazing, so kind and helpful! They ensure everyone feels welcome and answers any questions. The food was also great and had a nicely stocked bar. There was also lots of agenda items, including fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. You can't beat the views of the bay from the boat. This was also my first time on an overnight cruise and it was quite an experience. I will love to come back again, if I am ever in NZ in the future!

Favorite Part of my Trip! - This rock boat trip was one of the highlights from my studied abroad trip! The crew was friendly and made everyone welcome abroad and there were a ton of activities that one can do! We went night kayaking, swimming, fishing, and went on a little hike near the bay of islands. I would do this adventure again if I have to chance. If you are in the area with a group of friends or family, this is a must!

Wonderful Experience!!! - The Rock Boat was by far my most memorable and favorite part of my study abroad experience in New Zealand. From the second we met the crew, they made sure that we were as comfortable as possible and informed us about everything we should know as passengers on the boat. We were continuously kept busy with several activities which included fishing, kayaking in the bioluminescence water, snorkeling, jumping off the side of the boat, catching sea urchins, and more! We were also fed dinner, breakfast, and lunch. All of which exceeded my expectations and was absolutely delicious. The entire cruise was an unforgettable experience that I recommend for anyone traveling to New Zealand looking to meet new people, have amazing views, and have a well-kept itinerary.

I WOULD 100% REC - The rock boat was an amazing experience. I studied abroad in NZ and stayed all over the north island but this was my favorite thing I did. We had the chance to swim with the bioluminescence in the water, snorkel, hike on a beautiful island, and so much more. Our crew was amazing, specifically Byron and Finn made our experience ten times more fun.

Can't miss this when in NZ - New Zealand was certainly the best trip of my life, but this experience manages to take the cake as the best experience during the trip despite seeing so much else that NZ had to offer. I will truly cherish the memories of this experience for the rest of my life. From the minute we stepped on the boat the crew was incredibly friendly and were so open to questions and had some amazing stories and information about NZ. It truly felt like family right away. Beyond the human connection, the views and activities were the craziest. The different islands were truly beautiful, the water was the absolute bluest blue I have ever seen and the islands were the most vivid green. Night kayaking in the bioluminescent plankton was the most surreal experience of my life, and something that could never be captured. Between the kayaking and snorkeling and fishing, I truly didn't feel bored for a second.

The Rock Boat - The Rock adventure overnight cruise was one of my favorite parts of visiting New Zealand. We went on the overnight cruise on our second last night in the country and it was the perfect finale. We had perfect weather which always helps, but from the very beginning the crew was absolutely amazing and so friendly to all of us. The crew was great about safety and making sure everyone was always comfortable. They have a really great system and itinerary was awesome. The meals were all delicious and there were lots of different options, we never were hungry. I loved all the activities especially snorkeling, fishing, and the night kayaking where we were able to see the bioluminescent waters. The fishing was awesome Byron, one of the crew member was very helpful and would re bait lines very often with freshly cut bait. Overall this was a 12/10 experience and I would love to take another trip to the Rock adventure boat!
