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)
