What a beautiful place! As others have said, this is a long day from Auckland but so worth it. The cruise is beautiful, and stopping off to explore the islands with a little hiking was wonderful. Martin was kind, thoughtful, and informative as a guide and worked hard to make sure everyone in my small group (just 5 people) had a great day.
