This full-day experience is all about seeing the best of the Bay of Islands at a comfortable pace. Set out from Paihia or Russeln on a scenic cruise past dozens of islands, with live commentary to highlight the area&rsquo;s rich history, wildlife, and geology.

&nbsp;

Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, whales, and other marine life as your captain navigates the pristine waters. One of the top moments of the day is reaching the famous Hole in the Rock, a dramatic natural arch you&rsquo;ll get up close to - and if conditions allow, cruise right through.

&nbsp;

Later, you&rsquo;ll dock at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island. Here, you can relax on the beach, grab lunch from the island caf&eacute;, or take a walk to one of the nearby lookouts. The island time gives you space to unwind and explore before returning to Paihia in the afternoon.
