About This Tour

Get onboard the most comprehensive day cruise in the Bay of Islands, taking in the Hole in the Rock, the historic Cream Trip route and an island stop at Otehei Bay.

Start the morning cruising through the inner islands and past the Cape Brett Peninsula, out to the famous Hole in the Rock on Motukōkako. Take in the scenery, learn about the area's history through our informative and entertaining commentary, and keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine wildlife along the way.

Stop off at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island, where you can relax on the beach, explore a coastal walking track, have a swim or hire a kayak in peak season, then grab a bite to eat and drink from the fully licensed Otehei Bay Bar & Café.

Following your island stop, cruise through the inner islands past the unique Black Rocks and the historic Marsden Cross, then try your hand at boom-netting when available.
