Both the Get Your Guide staff and the Island Getaway staff were great! We were scheduled for a 9am tour but we missed the departure due to our ship’s tenders running late. I contacted Get Your Guide via What’s App and they contacted the Island Getaways Ltd staff. It turns out there were some others on the ship in the same situation so Island Getaways set up a special tour at 11:30 which got us back in time for the ship’s return return tenders at 4pm. The water was rough so we could only stop at one island and no hole in the rock for us but we stopped at an island and had 50 minutes for a gorgeous walk there. But the highlight of this tour was that we saw an orca up close and personal while getting to the island. What a treat!! A big thank you to both the Get Your Guide staff and the Island Getaways Staff. They were all great. The captains on the boat were awesome too. They navigated us through quite rough waters very well, keeping an eye on all of us the whole time.

Tisha & Hamish were lovely, friendly & informative. Tisha was very attentive to our families needs-(3 children under 4); the trip was good, unfortunately the weather didn’t permit going through the hole in the rock today. I would definitely recommend this tour

Boating in the Bay of Islands is a beautiful way to spend 5 hours. You stop at really beautiful spots with a hilltop hike on one and snorkeling or paddle boarding on another with ample time at each island. The cruise out to the hole in the rock passes by many islands and if you’re lucky you’ll get to cruise thru it. That’s possible 50% of the time but if the seas are rough, that makes for a fun experience anyways. Not too mention, you’ll get great videos. Crew was helpful and chatted with everyone.
