Inspiring Journeys

Experience Paradise on Auckland’s doorstep with Island Escape Cruises.
See a side of New Zealand that many people, except the locals, never consider and take to the water. Although not the most obvious choice for a cruising experience, these beautiful islands are at their most dramatic when viewed from the sensational coastline that surrounds them.

Experience the pleasures of Auckland’s marine playground as you cruise the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park with Island Escape Cruises. Ten generously sized and exquisitely furnished cabins accommodate just twenty passengers and offer state of the art facilities. As the anchor drops each evening, enjoy sunset cocktails before dining on freshly prepared Pacific cuisine. In between voyages to remote villages and stunning beaches you may do as little or as much as you wish, whether you wish to laze on the deck or brush up on your fishing skills. Optional excursions to further enhance your experience include island and vineyard tours, guided walks, beach picnics and scenic helicopter flights.
