Darryls Dinner Cruise

Join us on board ‘Ratanui’ for a Lunch or Dinner cruise. Two completely different experiences, both with a distinct New Zealand flavour! Family owned and operated for the last 25 years - the best way to see the Waitangi River in the Bay of Islands - the winterless North. We offer travellers food and refreshments is a kiwi tradition, paired with a relaxing river cruise to see the sometimes wild Haruru Falls. Join Darryl and the crew on board the Ratanui, a custom-built river cruising boat, made for gliding through the water of our calm inland waterways. This 2.5 hour cruise will take you along the Waitangi River, where the bird life is rampant. Grab your camera and see how many you can spot. The friendly crew are a mine of information and love to share the history of the area. Relax in the comfy leather seating with a glass of your favourite drink, and mingle with the other travellers – you never know who you’ll meet.
