Highly recommend this tour
A MUST visiting NZ and the Bay of Islands. Our tour was amazing and we saw heaps of dolphins (twice) and just one seal. But still - amazing nature and we were also very lucky with the weather. Lunch on the island was also very filling and enough. Only the older guy at the bar was literally the rudest person I have ever met in NZ!
We had the perfect (still) weather for our boat cruise. Sooo beautiful. The dolphins seem familiar with the boat and came right up to us. Were able to see everything - bird rock with seals & gannets, and went through the hole in the rock a number of times.
Wonderful crew, great scenery, wildlife encounters and a delicious lunch. 10/10

Great day out
Really enjoyed this boat trip. The crew were friendly, and the skipper gave an interesting and amusing commentary. We made it through the hole in the rock - though no marine animals to be seen! Lunch was nice and well-organised. If we did the trip again we’d have booked to stay on the island for longer, as the weather was beautiful and there wasn’t really time for a walk or a swim. It’s a beautiful place to stop, so would recommend coming back on a later boat!
