I had a half day cruise tour to the iconic The Hole in the Rock, the cruise started at 2pm, and returned to Paihia at 6:30pm. We had stop over at Otehei bay for 90 minutes where you can buy food and drink.
great trip to discover the bays, wildlife, and the iconic The Hole in the Rock.
"Cruise past the Cape Brett Lighthouse, before arriving at the majestic Hole in the Rock. Admire the rock walls towering above you as the skipper navigates right through the narrow space (conditions permitting) before heading back into the inner islands of the Bay.
Enjoy your 90-minute stop at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island, have a meal or a drink at the island café, swim off the beach (ideal for children) take a scenic walk-up to the hill top panoramic view points or just relax on one of the outdoor bean bags."
