See some of the Bay of Islands' most scenic highlights on a four-hour cruise around its sheltered waters. Set off from Paihia or Russell and enjoy the scenic views of secluded islands with their white sand beaches and native forest as you cruise past them.

During your cruise you'll travel out along the Cape Brett Peninsula to the historic lighthouse at its end, and see the famous Hole in the Rock at Motukokako Island. If conditions permit, your skipper will take the boat right through the hole!

You'll also spend some time at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island - relax on the beach, head up to the viewing point for a breathtaking outlook, and grab a snack at the island's cafe.
