Check availabilityHow romantic does this sound: have your ceremony on the little inlet of Captain Cook Bay, rent a sea kayak, get caught in a pod of dolphins (which of course you’ll have to hop out of the kayak to swim with), visit the Captain Cook statue, and end your big day with a local mango so fresh the juices run down your chin. This is the daily reality of Captain Cook Bay. Stunning location for the adventurous couple.
