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 Motukōkako and its famous sea-carved arch. Along the way, you’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 Reinga’s lighthouse overlooks the powerful meeting of two oceans. Here, Māori tradition and storytelling give spiritual meaning to the wild and remote landscape. With a drive along Ninety Mile Beach and views that stretch forever, it’s a journey filled with iconic scenery and unforgettable moments.
