Flexible driver! - Min was a great driver and was flexible in how the day went. He let us take a quick stop at the Treaty of Waitangi museum before getting on the ferry for the Bay of Islands. I highly recommend this trip!

Good trip - Our driver was fantastic, the boat experience was good. We didn’t see dolphins, but did see many little islands as well as interesting info about them (when the captain’s microphone worked).
