Enjoy a 3-hour hole-in-the-rock cruise & Bay of Islands Tour, when your cruise ship arrives in either Waitangi or Paihia Wharf. Escape the crowds with a small-group half-day tour of two beautiful islands. Go snorkeling at pristine island reefs, try stand-up paddle boarding, take a short hike to viewpoints, and look for New Zealand wildlife. You’ll ride on a small motorboat that can access places that large ships cannot go, and hear live commentary from your guide about the region.

• Visit two remote islands for snorkeling and exploration
• Wildlife spotting and insightful commentary are offered throughout the day
• Includes morning tea, and use of snorkel and paddleboard equipment
• Small-group tour with a maximum of 20 people.

Take a ride out to see Motu Kokako, or “the Hole in the Rock,” an impressive natural rock formation located at the northern tip of Cape Brett. Round as well, is a large hole in the center of Fraser Island carved over thousands of years by wind and waves. A fantastic experience! One that I will not be forgetting it was so beautiful going through the Bay of Islands. The Hole in the Rock is seasonal and very weather-dependent. In the case of unfavorable conditions on that day, we will take a sheltered inner island round instead.
