Urupukapuka Island

Urupukapuka Island is the largest island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 7.3 km from Paihia. There are many sandy beaches. The waters around the island are clear and diving is particularly good on the east coast where there is plentiful reef life. Indico and Paradise Bays are popular sheltered anchorages and ideal for most forms of water sports. The bays are also inhabited by a colony of shags, and pohutukawas are abundant along the coastline.

Family European River Cruise

Working with Brenda was an absolute delight. She was so attentive to all the details of our trip, even those we didn’t book through her for which we used points, such as excursions and hotels. Brenda helped to ensure our trip was seamless so there would be no interruptions in our travel plans. I would highly recommend using Brenda for worry-free travel!! Thanks for the amazing trip!!
