Hole in the Rock Cruise

cruise cruisescenic

Boat out to Piercy Island/Motukōkako and through its famous sea arch; dolphins en route.

Why go

Cruising through the rock arch and the near-guaranteed dolphin encounters make this the signature Bay of Islands experience.

A classic Bay of Islands boat trip out past the 144 islands to Piercy Island (Motukōkako) at Cape Brett, where — sea conditions permitting — the skipper noses the boat through the famous natural sea arch. Common and bottlenose dolphins are regularly seen en route, and most cruises stop at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island.
