Tisha & Hamish were lovely, friendly & informative. Tisha was very attentive to our families needs-(3 children under 4); the trip was good, unfortunately the weather didn’t permit going through the hole in the rock today. I would definitely recommend this tour

Boating in the Bay of Islands is a beautiful way to spend 5 hours. You stop at really beautiful spots with a hilltop hike on one and snorkeling or paddle boarding on another with ample time at each island. The cruise out to the hole in the rock passes by many islands and if you’re lucky you’ll get to cruise thru it. That’s possible 50% of the time but if the seas are rough, that makes for a fun experience anyways. Not too mention, you’ll get great videos. Crew was helpful and chatted with everyone.
