School day sail
Our School Sailing in the Bay is ideal for schools looking for multiple activities on one day. Departing from Opua, the ship heads out into the Bay for a swim and island visit before heading home. Bring your own packed lunch to eat on the way home, before exploring Russell Museum, Pompallier Mission or Waitangi for the afternoon. Ferry tickets available on request. It’s ideal for Kura Kaupapa Māori and secondary schools and incorporates some of the early histories of the Bay. Minimum 20 students, although schools can combine groups.
