5.00This was a great cruise around the beautiful Bay of Islands. The commentary was just enough and the stop for coffee or a bite to eat was delightful with plenty of time to enjoy a swim or just relax. We were very lucky to sail through the hole in the rock and the skipper turned the boat 360 degree whenever appropriate to give everyone an opportunity to see any interesting things.

5.00A terrific trip with a most informative commentary by the skipper of the boat. We motored thru the Hole in the Rock, managed to see some dolphins, who played in our bow wave for some time. Everybody seemed to enjoy the trip, with phones taking loads of pictures.
