    Small boat experience cancelled probably through low numbers. Large boat upgrade couldn't go through hope in rock. Disappointing but had an ok day

    This was a great trip if you are short of time. Very informative, felt safety was well organised. Exhilarating speeding over the waves and through the hole in the rock. Would definitely recommend!

    Gavin was an excellent host for a magic day in the Bay of Islands. We got through the hole and into Cathedral Cave to top off a brilliant afternoon boat ride.
