Secluded Overnight / Live-aboard Tours
Ocean Eco Tours specialise in visiting the more remote and less developed Department of Conservation islands and coastal reserves with small groups we explore the Bay of Island Maritime Park.
Our over night tour covers a wide range of scenic and marine diversity and features several stopovers and a Sun Set side excursion to Cape Brett Light House and "The Hole In The Rock".
We provide a outdoors, nature based experience with emphasis on seclusion, scenic walks, snorkelling, kayaking, beach combing, wildlife and photography.
Your Boat
M.V. Souvenir is a traditional New Zealand 40 ton coastal vessel, built of timber in 1956; she spent the first 50 years of her working life in our Southern Oceans.
Now Northland based and refitted to provide overnight accommodation for up to 8 guests, she’s equipped with ocean kayaks, snorkel gear and a 4 mtr support boat.
Exploring the Bay of Islands Maritime park with auxiliary sails and her original Gardner engine, "Souvenir" is mammal friendly, creates little noise consumes minimal fuel and leaves a very small wake.
