DOLPHIN CRUISE

TO THE ‘HOLE IN THE ROCK’ INCLUDING DOLPHIN VIEWING

Bay of Islands Dolphin Cruise

This half day cruise is a ‘must do’ for dolphin lovers. Take the opportunity to view common and bottlenose dolphins, whales and other marine life in their natural
habitat. Watch these playful creatures from the catamaran - there are plenty of viewing decks on board to get you up close to the action. Our catamaran (Dolphin Seeker) is licensed by the Department of Conservation for dolphin viewing. Enjoy the views as you cruise past the Cape Brett Lighthouse, before arriving at the majestic Hole in the Rock – hold your breath as the skipper navigates through the narrow space and admire the rock walls which soar above you. Take in the Grand Cathedral Cave before heading back into the sheltered waters of the Bay.
