For over 125 years the name “Fullers” has been associated with tourism in the Bay of Islands. Our founder, Ernest Albert Fuller, first began offering tours to tourists while delivering supplies and collecting cream from farmers located within the inner islands. Things have come a long way since those early days but the scenery and wildlife remain just as spectacular.
Today we still follow the original Cream Trip route, delivering mail and supplies to island residents and showing you the best of the Bay on a relaxed day-long cruise. This is the perfect cruise for nature lovers, and the most extensive historical cruise offered in the Bay of Islands.
Marvel at the spectacular views of the 144 islands, abundant in natural beauty and marine life, as the comfortable catamaran travels out through the islands dropping off deliveries on the way. On arrival at Cape Brett Lighthouse, the outermost point of the original Cream Trip. Experience the famous Hole in the Rock at Motukokako Island as we take you through the stunning Hole in the Rock at Motukokako Island. You’ll also see the spectacular Black Rocks – unusual volcanic formations found in only two places in the world and nearby where the first Christian sermon in New Zealand was held in 1814.
Our cruise meanders in and out of the many picturesque bays calling on the locals, delivering their stores and mail as Fullers has done for over 100 years. The leisurely pace means you’ll get up close to wildlife. You may see seals, dolphins or even whales and endless bird and fish life. Our underwater camera is designed to give you stunning views of the marine life – school fish, eagle rays and spot dolphins in their natural environment
We’ll also stop at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island where we tie up at the wharf with time to explore, go for a swim or simply relax and enjoy the natural beauty around you.
Ninety years on, the Cream Trip cruise is still the best way to see the Bay. Meals and drinks can be purchased on Urupukapuka Island, or feel free to bring your own.
