We had a simply amazing day! The day started with an on-time pick up with the vessel being excellent and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Heading out to the Hole in the Rock we were extremely lucky that the early cloud lifted. The trip out was a little rough but the staff were great to assist. At the Rock we were taken close to the feature and there was plenty of time for pictures. On the way to lunch a pod of dolphins was sighted. The boat slowed and they came over to say ‘Hi!’. It was an incredible and totally unexpected experience to see dolphins playing and jumping right next to our boat. Lunch at Otehei Bay was excellent and being able to purchase a beer to go with it was appreciated. We were a little late arriving due to the dolphins (but we didn’t mind) and we still had a full hour to eat, refresh ourselves, and walk around. Overall, we had a memorable and very special day.

Initially I was put off by the price, but when you consider hourly rate, it’s actually very reasonable. The crew were fantastic and happy to answer any questions. The buffet was delicious, and well organised. Unfortunately we didn’t see whales today, but dolphins did join us at one stage. The hole in the rock is very cool, and there was some spectacular New Zealand scenery on show.
Better than we expected.

Bronwyn and the team welcomed us and looked after everyone, sharing information about the islands. Despite the poor weather we did go through the hole and enjoyed the trip. The hot buffet lunch was very good.
Awesome trip

Great trip out to the rock. Experienced female captain waited at the entrance then powered through the hole in the rock! Very cool considering it was a large boat. Urupukapuka was a beautiful spot for the buffet lunch and the food was great. Loved the trip would highly recommend.
Great day

We had a wonderful day cruising the Bay of Islands with Discovery Cruises. The boat was modern, well kept and very stable, the crew was very informative and helpful. The skipper should rate a special mention for her ability to safely guide the boat through the hole in the rock on a day when conditions were not great. The lunch at Otehei Bay was very nice & relaxing. We would recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the North Island.
Fun day

I didn't see the whole in the rock due to weather. They did give the option to delay, but I opted to stay. The boat was heaving as were most people around me! So factor this in if they give the option to bale. Overall it was pleasant seeing the bays and the lunch was a very nice buffet.
Was a great tour. I would just bring your own lunch.

It was a great tour - knowledge tour guides, wonderful scenery. I would just bring your own lunch. For $30 meals from the cafe on the island, they have a lot to be desired.
