Royal Mail Run cruise details
The Royal Mail Run Cruise is the largest mail run by water in the Southern Hemisphere and is a wonderful way for people of all ages to discover the history and natural beauty of Kawau Island. You'll cruise the breathtaking bays on a luxurious ferry offering uninterrupted views of the Hauraki Gulf and the Matakana coastline with Kawau Cruises and enjoy an island stopover at Mansion House Reserve. Your informative skipper will provide a commentary as you cruise past over 85 different wharves, delivering freight and mail to the island residents. While on board, you can also watch Gannet birds diving for food and hear the melodic call of the Tui bird – you'll even get the chance to watch for penguins and dolphins. A traditional kiwi BBQ lunch on board is on offer as an optional extra.
