RAKINO ISLAND

This tiny island tucked away just behind Rangitoto and Motutapu is easily Auckland’s best kept secret. With a population of only 21 permanent residents, who welcome its isolation and privacy, it is an eco-friendly off-the-grid island paradise that is not easily accessed due to its limited public ferry service and accommodation options.

A day cruise with the Savoy is your opportunity to explore this quintessential slice of kiwi paradise. Arrive at the public jetty at Sandy Bay where there is a small library and an art gallery exhibiting local art and head out on a short walk through the village and beyond to picturesque Woody Bay to enjoy an afternoon of island life the Rakino way!

From Woody Bay you will be tendered back to the waiting Savoy for lunch and some time to enjoy the onboard facilities and water sport activities, before venturing out for a scenic cruise around the Noises Island group on your way back to Auckland.
