Step aboard the Wahinemoe for an unforgettable 90-minute Nature Cruise through the breathtaking Whaingaroa (Raglan) Harbour.
Departing from Raglan Wharf, your journey offers a glimpse of over 220 kilometres of spectacular coastline. Whaingaroa is a nationally recognised conservation area, home to a protected bird sanctuary and the result of more than 20 years of native reforestation. As you cruise, you’ll pass dramatic geological wonders: from 50-million-year-old limestone sculpted into striking pancake rock formations, to layers of volcanic basalt, clay, and pumice.
Enjoy freshly cooked fish and chips, paired with a cold beer or a glass of wine, as the sun sets over the horizon, the perfect way to start or end your day in Raglan.
The experienced skipper and crew share captivating stories of the harbour’s unique history, thriving ecology, and diverse wildlife. Sit back, relax, and take in the peaceful rhythm of the harbour as you glide past native birds and marine life in their natural habitat.
The Wahinemoe is a 14-metre, purpose-built catamaran designed for comfort and stability. Its shallow draft allows access to the harbour’s hidden bays and remote upper reaches, uncovering the quiet corners of Whaingaroa that few ever see.
