Day trips

Order ahead, or bring your own

On day trips, if you would like a delicious picnic lunch prepared for you and delivered to the boat, please give us your order by 5pm the night before your trip. Not available in June, July or August.

You're welcome to bring your own lunch instead. There is a cafe and store at Kaiteriteri where you can buy food to take away. Allow time to buy your lunch, as the store can be busy during the holiday season.
