The Rock

The Rock is an unlikely looking vessel that was a car ferry in a former life, and is now a floating backpackers hostel. It takes up to 36 passengers on overnight cruises through New Zealand's beautiful Bay of Islands. We went night kayaking, dove for mussels and swam amongst schools of fish in impossibly green water. We ate lunch on a little island full of green rolling hills and deserted beaches. Ah, just the ticket for a sea-loving Piscean like yours truly.
