    Great tour company and amazing staff! Beautiful morning out in the islands and even got to visit the Hole in the Rock and the Lighthouse. The staff shared lots of information about the area and wildlife, and we were lucky to see penguins and seals on the tour. The island stop was beautiful. Highly recommend this tour

    Definitely a tick off the bucket list. The crew and captain were so friendly and made us all feel comfortable through the day. We even stopped on one of the islands and did a short walk and had time to go for a swim. Great way to see the Bay of Islands. Highly recommended tour!!!

    Booked this trip on my own while in the Bay of Islands. Great trip to see the Hole in the rock, and plenty of time to explore the islands. Boat was comfortable and the guides were really informative!
