Enjoy a high-speed cruise out to the Bay of Islands. Explore the 144 islands, visit the iconic Hole in the Rock, and have a magical encounter with native dolphins. After marveling at these fascinating creatures in their habitat, savor an onboard lunch and stop by Urupukapuka Island.

Make your way to Paihia Wharf or Russell Wharf, where your cruise awaits you. Board a high-speed ocean raft and cruise along the stunning eastern coastline. Breathe in the refreshing sea air and soak in the picturesque ocean views, spotting seals and a variety of birds.

As you cruise, see dolphins swim and jump in synchronizing harmony and listen to their unique way of communicating with each other via the boat's high-quality underwater sound transmitter. Then power through the iconic Hole in the Rock and admire this impressive natural wonder.

Before returning to land, relish a delicious lunch or afternoon tea (depending on departure time) and stop by at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island for a unique cultural experience. Participate in the Maori Living Today exhibition and learn the ways, customs, and traditions of the Maori tribe.
