Cape Brett Lighthouse with house

The Hole in the Rock is a massive rock formation that stands out in the middle of the sea, with a hole that has been naturally carved out of it by the sea over time.

Visitors can take a tour boat to get up close to the rock formation, and if the tide and weather conditions are favorable, the boat can even sail through the hole itself, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

The area surrounding the Hole in the Rock is home to a diverse range of marine life, including dolphins, whales, and seals. Visitors can take a cruise to explore the surrounding islands and bays, with opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and even diving.

The Hole in the Rock also holds great cultural significance to the local Maori people, and visitors can learn about the area's rich history and cultural heritage at the nearby Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
