An awesome experience. Very worthwhile  enjoyed every minute. Getting to ho through the rock was a bonus

An awesome experience....

Really enjoyed this experience. The weather was fantastic and the trip out there and back was full of scenery and highlighting the local area. The captain was very informative and made you chuckle at times with his humour.

Hole in the Rock Experience - Fantastic!

Great service. The cruise was well equipped and the staff was very attentive and helpful. The waters were a little chilly that day and the staff was really on their feet with the service and helping passengers with vomit bags and stuff. The commentary was good as well

Great experience, go for it

This half day cruise was so enjoyable. We saw so much. Commentary was good. Staff friendly. Lunch stop was lovely and we were able to do some kayaking which was a highlight. 

Fabulous half day trip - Hole in the rock 

Lovely comfortable boat trip, lots of information on the Bay of Islands and local history, helpful crew.

Lovely day out!

The guide on the boat was excellent. He was very knowledgeable but funny with it. Would definitely recommend 

Hole in the rock

Amazing scenery. Beautiful. The captain had a great sense of humor. The island stop was restful. I could have enjoyed a few more hours there.

Amazing scenery....

Great experience! Glenn the rock was something special!!! Crew very nice and accommodating. Loved it. 

Hike in the rock great tour

Great experience. Must don’t staying in Paihi. Water was so smooth and beautiful weather. Crew did a great job. No dolphins but it’s nature.

Hole in the rock a must do!

The trip is weather dependent, we didn’t go through the hole in the rock due to weather conditions but captain was good in getting us close for photos.
