Excitor Hole in the Rock High Speed Adventure in the Bay of Islands

Feel your adrenaline surge as you pass through the amazing "Hole in the Rock" around the Bay of Islands.

It's accelerated adventure all the way on board the Excitor! A unique open sea adventure vessel that will speed you around the Bay of Islands Maritime Park, powering over the ocean waters.

Feel the adrenaline rush as you zoom through the islands to Cape Brett - 1600hp engines get you there pretty quickly!

Blast out to Motukokako Island and pass through the "Hole in the Rock" into the majestic Grand Cathedral Cave and back past Cape Brett Lighthouse. A great trip in any weather - the bigger the waves, the better the buzz!

Take your camera - there's loads of photo opportunities as we often see Whales, Seals, Dolphins, Penguins and other sea and bird life.

Optional Island Experiences:
The cruise operator holds exclusive commercial landing rights at Otehei Bay, Urupukapuka Island. If the idea of a nature walk, Nautilus Submarine Underwater Adventure (additional cost, payable direct), swim, snorkel or some time relaxing on a beach appeals, you can be dropped off for AU$10 extra and you can catch a later catamaran back to Paihia or Russell. Adults AU$10 and Child AU$5, payable direct on the day of tour.
