Hole in the Rock

Hole in the Rock Cruise

Guests are whisked away by the high speed luxury catamaran for a comfortable journey out through game fishing waters to the Cape Brett Lighthouse before reaching Motukokako Island and the famous 'Hole in the Rock'. The excitement grows as you make passage through the hole and on to the majestic Grand Cathedral Cave.

On the return journey you will meander through the inner islands, view sandy beaches, beautiful bays and marine wildlife as your skipper gives an informative commentary. Included in this is an island stopover on beautiful Urupukapuka Island, where you can enjoy numerous activities such as one of the scenic walks, a swim or ride the Subsea Adventure.
