We were informed that our first booked tour had been cancelled due to technical/ maintenance. We rebooked as we were keen to experience one of the highlights of Paihia. The day has arrived made our way to the meeting point, there we were given the safety rules, we were also give raincoats and life jackets. The seats are like hugh bike seat, safety belts , further briefing of safety.... The two guys were awesome so helpful and informative of the other island. I found the thrilling, should i have the opportunity to do again I would definitely take the front seats, only because for good photo shots, instead of other peoples heads. I would suggests to wear a several layers of clothing & snug beanie and glasses so you can open yours, be careful cos they could get whipped of due to speed. Thoroughly enjoyed

Awesome activity!
Loved this trip out to hole in the rock. Staff were really friendly, our skipper Donna was particularly excellent. Great couple of hours out, even got to see dolphins and make the way through the hole on the rock which was an unexpected surprise. Would recommend :)

Not adventurous but nice
The tour was nice but it had to be rescheduled twice, because they didn't have enough bookings. The first time I was called and rescheduled to the day after. They also offered a refund but I really wanted to go so I stayed another night. The next day I went there and the tour got rescheduled again for 2h later. I would have appreciated to be notified prior to this, and not find out half an hour before the tour is supposed to start. I was really excited when the tour started, there are a lot of safety messures and you get a splash jacket to keep you dry. I was asking for the best place to sit and was told to sit outside. If you wanna stay dry, I recommend sitting inside or at the front. I got absolutely drenched and was wet through to my underwear. I was disappointed about the 'adventure' side of the tour. the fast boat was pretty smooth, I didn't even have to hold on. If you want an action tour I would recommend booking a jet boat tour instead. It wasn't very adventurous at all and I think the advertising is s bit misleading. After all the safety messures beforehand I would have expected more than just a boat going a bit faster than other boats.

C'était extraordinaire, la vitesse, le vent, les vagues, un mélange de sensations... on ne savait plus où donner de la tête ! Je pense que l'expérience doit beaucoup dépendre de la météo et nous avons eu beaucoup de chance, soleil, mer calme. Nous avons pu passer dans le Hole in the Rock. Notre skipper était habile, drôle et généreuse en commentaires et nous a permi de prendre de nombreuses photos magnifiques et même d'improviser un arrêt pour apercevoir des dauphins. Un excellent moyen de profiter de la Bay of Islands. Et surtout, si on vous propose de vous arrêter à Otehei Bay et de rentrer en ferry (gratuit), FAITES LE ! L'île est somptueuse !! Kayak pas cher, randonnées, vues de la Bay.
