Sail away in Paihia<br />
Spend a full day with Carino Wildlife Cruises,<br />
a local family-run business that has been<br />
boating for 45 years. Their experience<br />
includes sailing from the South Pacific to the<br />
Atlantic Ocean as well as being involved<br />
with Team New Zealand and defending the<br />
America’s Cup, so you know you’re in safe<br />
hands out on the water.<br />
Onboard the 50ft catamaran,<br />
circumnavigate the islands to view wild<br />
bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat<br />
and see various ocean birds, including<br />
the world’s smallest penguin – the little<br />
blue penguin. An island stopover allows<br />
snorkelling, nature walks or relaxing on the<br />
beach with a proper Kiwi lunch. Throughout<br />
the day, choose to lend a hand to hoist the<br />
mainsail and jib or simply sit back and relax as<br />
the sails catch the breeze.<br />
This day trip not only offers spectacular<br />
scenery and sea life, but a portion of every<br />
trip contributes directly to marine mammal<br />
conservation to protect our future.<br />
