Dolphin cruise

Good morning everyone!


This morning we have an amazing scenic cruise on the planning around the beautiful bay islands, a collection of 144 islands bursting with marine life. There is no better way than to see them by boat.

We hopped on the boat and found a nice seat on the middle deck. We were all very excited cause on this cruise we would also look for dolphins and visit the amazing hole in the rock! The boat sailed off and we were amazed by the beauty of the islands! Suddenly the captain announced that dolphins are jumping around our boat. It was spectacular to see them swimming and following our boat for a while. I felt really lucky!

We headed further to the famous hole in the rock. It’s an fantastic view in the middle of the sea. There is a little island with a massive hole in a rock and we were trying to sail right through it with our big boat! At first I didn’t think it was possible to go through it but the captain succeeded! It was a great experience! 

After that, we headed back to Paihia; bought some lunch for on the way and continued our journey to Hokianga. Our driver Seagull stopped on the way at an amazing view point! I really loved it. New Zealand has so much diversity to offer!

When we arrived at our destination, we couldn’t believe that we were staying in such a luxurious appartment with stunning beach views! Definitely the best place to stay so far on our trip.
