Join us for an incredible boat trip out to the world famous Hole in the Rock and discover some of the most beautiful islands in the Bay!

Step aboard our fast and comfortable 31’ high speed vessel on a 2 ½ hour adventure that will be the highlight of your trip to Paihia.

Soak up the amazing views and island atmosphere as we stop at some of the most spectacular bays, beaches and coastline you will ever see.

Once at the “Hole” we’ll stop for plenty of photo time before lining up and sending the boat through.

Next to the Hole is the stunning Cathedral Cave and if conditions allow, we will drive all the way in to check out this amazing rock formation!

Next stop is a close up view of Cape Brett and one of the most well-known lighthouses in New Zealand.

Along the way we often come across, dolphins, penguins, seals and a wide range of other marine and bird life.

 

A fun and memorable adventure in what can only be described as paradise…

Fabulous

Small group. Great view of the hole in the rock. We were able to sit very close to a pod of dolphins playing in the waves. Great trip highly recommend

Okay

Don't do it in bad weather. It was completely overcast when we did it so it just became a relatively boring and cold boat trip. You think you must see the hole in the rocks, but in the end it's just a hole in a rock. Not worth the money in my opinion.
