Doing what: Bay of Islands Cape Brett 'Hole in the Rock' Cruise
We were scheduled to arrive by cruise ship via tendered boats. The seas were so rough that the tender boats could not be deployed. Sadly, we missed the tour, but I wanted to advise potential customers that we received a full and prompt refund following one email request.

What a trip...This is worth every cent. The bay of islands is beautiful. The boat was fantastic. The crew ,food and the whole experience they gave us was magical. We were picked up from our hotel in Auckland and taken on a beautiful 3-4 hour scenic tour through the mountains to Pahia and then embarked on the boat. After traveling through to various islands we canoed to a magical beach and snorkeled for a few hours. Upon returning to the boat a magical afternoon snack was waiting. That evening we traveled further within the bay of islands and a food buffet was set for us all. The cabins are fantastic with huge king beds and cater for everything. The following morning a buffet breakfast was served and we found a huge pod of dolphins and followed them for around an hour. After more scenic island travel we arrived back at Pahia and had the afternoon to ourselves. A HINT..When you do get to Pahia take a cab or tuk tuk to the treaty grounds, it is superb and beautiful. We then took the boat across to Russell and spent the afternoon wandering and relaxing...great place to eat and look. HINT..Check out the old cemetery..After returning from Russell we loaded ourselves back on the bus for our scenic return trip to Auckland. This has to be the best value for money trip around. You are picked up from your hotel and delivered back to your hotel included in the total price. We were gone from 6:45 Thursday morning and arrived back to our hotel Friday night at 8:30. The staff and food and the whole experience is the best I have ever had. All for a cost of $254.

It was way above our expectations and it was the highlight of our wonderful NZ trip - we would highly recommend it - Tammy with her local knowledge and her love of the local wildlife was very evident and her crew were great - we saw dolphins a hammer head shark and a penguin.

Doing what: Bay of Islands and Hole in the Rock Scenic Helicopter Tour
I had never been in a helicopter before and I was a little hesitant at first. But as soon as we took off, I was laughing and taking pictures. The pilot was great and the views unforgettable!

What a ride! Great fun from start to finish. It was amazing being able to see the Bay of Islands from the air and being able to grasp just how large the area is. Great views of the bay, the different islands, the boats and of course the hole in the rock! Pilot was very professional and made us feel safe at all times. His commentary was informative and he was able to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend!

A really enjoyable day out, with a friendly, informative guide. Loved Cape Reinga. And digging for shellfish on the beach (though the Tasman Sea is as cold as the North Sea!)
