Quotes from our onboard guest book
By far the best money we’ve spent in New Zealand the staff were efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Loved it!
Jess and Mike UK
Everything that this boat promised, it delivered.
Joanne, NZ
Still six weeks of our New Zealand holiday to go but we’re prepared to bet that our cruise on “The Rock’ will be the BEST experience of the whole trip.
Marian & Roger UK
Wonderful & fantastically action packed yet peaceful & tranquil at the same time.
Dominic & Laverne UK
The best way to fall in love with New Zealand.
Maren, Germany
Never though you could have so much fun on a car ferry.
Will/Dave, England
It’s a rare thing to find such a treasure as “the Rock” trip. Your excursion is truly the highlight of our New Zealand trip.
Wink & Peggy, USA
Living proof that even oldies can thoroughly enjoy this overnighter. Great crew, great food, great company.
Dorreen & Ian, NZ
Lonely Planet & the recommendations of people STILL do this trip NO justice. Peter and his crew are a fab bunch of people who have brought an innovative vision alive for experience seekers to love and remember as a special part of their travels.
Meena & Bas
My expectations were exceeded when we arrived on “The Rock” and it only got better.
Kay, Australia
Felt like a family friend instead of a paying customer.
Tuuli, Finland
We came with 5 kids, they had a ball, we had a ball.
Bronwyn and Paul, Australia
Without a doubt the best way to see the Bay of Islands in all it’s glory.
Sioned, Wales
Easily the best part of my North Island experience if not all of New Zealand.
Josh, USA
Sheer escapism amongst unspoilt natural beauty.
Andy & Lisa, Wales
I’ve done more in the past 22 hrs than my previous 3 weeks in New Zealand.
Sam, UK
Best value for your money in all New Zealand.
Danielle, Holland
Seriously the best 24 hours. Like being invited to someone’s home.
Wendy, Canada
One of the most magical experiences of my life.
Tighe, Australia
Truly something special.
Kevin & Sinead, Scotland/Ireland
Experiencing my first night on the sea, sunsets, sunrise, swimming under endless stars, chilling on an empty beach. Perfect!
Sylvia, Sweden
As a solo traveler I found this cruise very friendly, I met so many nice people and had such a good time trying heaps of new stuff.
June, UK
Crowded boat tours with microphone commentaries were starting to get to us. We like to do more than just look. The Rock cruise was personal and offered us everything.
Jan & Paul UK
Some trips are average, some are very good and others exceptional. Well done The Rock on a terrific experience that was exceptional.
Paul and Daughter Charlie
For us nothing in New Zealand matched up to this cruise.
Jules & Linda South Africa.
