From our family to yours. In our bubble we have loved the time together, cooking, playing even gardening. But we have always had our other 'baby' on our minds as we navigate this challenging time. We miss being out on the water, getting under the water to explore another world, swapping stories and of course the marshmallows over the fire. Most of all we miss the people. Our amazing guests who normally come to explore our backyard from all over the world. It's not our natural instinct to ask for help but in this changing time for travellers and those of us who help travellers have new experiences, meet new people and explore new places we would love to ask for your help. We are not sure yet when our borders will be open, or when we can all move freely again even in our own countries. What we do know is that we will travel again, cruise again, explore again and share again - our place, our islands, our lives and our experiences with all of you. So we are asking for your help. If you or someone you love or even just happen to know are planning on spending any time in the Bay of Islands in the coming months or even years we have put together a series of gift vouchers. They are open dated to the end of 2023, you can change dates as often as you like and you can even purchase just part of a cruise. https://www.rocktheboat.co.nz/the-rock-gift-vouchers We would love it if you would treat yourself, treat your family, treat your team or treat your friends to an experience that will last a lifetime. It would mean the world to us so we can have The Rock continue to be a unique looking icon here in the Bay of Islands for another 20 years. She has delivered memories that some of you have talked about as you explore the Mayan Ruins in Mexico and for others the memories were so fond you returned with your family a decade after you explored as backpackers. We've had engagements, reunions, birthdays and weddings before COVID-19 and we know with your support we will have many more aboard in the future. And of course if the Bay of Islands isn't on your horizon then we would love if you could share this far and wide for us with your networks. Much Love from the Greener Bubble Scarlett, Jonny and Sarah.

We depart from the Paihia wharf in the Bay of Islands. The wharf is located in the middle of town. You'll see a statue of a big Marlin - that's the start of the wharf. Walk about half way down and you'll find our blue "The Rock" sign. Pleas wait there our skipper and crew will greet you and check in you for your cruise. We depart at 5pm during day light saving (approx Oct - Mar) and 4pm when no day light saving (approx Apr - Sept)

Another one of our frequently asked questions. There are a couple of options with regards to parking before coming out and cruising with us in the Bay of Islands.

Here are the Rock Adventure Cruise we supply just about everything you need to cruise from Paihia and explore the Bay of Islands with us.

Great cruise, awesome atmosphere with a full boat. Lots a Kahawai caught and released. Weather was sunny with a few clouds. Island visit on Motuarohia. Best way to see the Bay of Islands.
