Explore Sea and Land on a Hole in the Rock & Cape Reinga Combo

The Hole in the Rock Cruise & Cape Reinga Combo is the ultimate two-day Northland experience, blending coastal beauty with cultural depth. On day one, cruise through the Bay of Islands toward the majestic Motukลkako and its famous sea-carved arch. Along the way, youโ€™ll spot marine life, hear fascinating commentary, and stop at Otehei Bay for swimming or relaxing.

Day two takes you to the northernmost reaches of Aotearoa, where Cape Reingaโ€™s lighthouse overlooks the powerful meeting of two oceans. Here, Mฤori tradition and storytelling give spiritual meaning to the wild and remote landscape. With a drive along Ninety Mile Beach and views that stretch forever, itโ€™s a journey filled with iconic scenery and unforgettable moments.
