Great Captain and staff onboard. Was a stunning day and definitely worth doing. I highly recommend it. The hole in the rock was awesome! We went right through it. No dolphins sighted on this trip though but saw them on another one that I did a couple of years ago.
We really enjoyed our tour to the hole in the rock and Island stop over. It was such an interesting experience, seeing all the Island and hearing some of the history of the area. Our captain was full of knowledge and gave a personal touch to the tour. I loved seeing the seals on the rocks but sadly didn’t see any dolphins, but there was an amazing amount of fish and birds around the rock. We enjoyed our BBQ lunch ( both of us being vegetarians) enjoyed the variety of salads and vegetables. If I went again I would opt for the full day to allow us more time to explore the Island, as the views from the look out were stunning and we would have liked more time to explore, have a swim and relax with a wine. It was a lovely adventure and I would fully recommend the trip.
Captain Gavin was a fantastic guide all around the the Bay of Islands, and through the Hole in the Rock! This cruise is a definite and fun must do activity when in Paihia!!!
Amazing Weather saw dolphins, seal, going through the hole was amazing not once but twice, the weather was perfect today. BUFFET lunch was okay, meat a little tasteless Wonderful view to sit for lunch So hot so didn't go for a walk
