So far has been OK. I have had a few issues with the vouchers. Having to confirm each booking is not ideal when your travelling.
Other tour operators don't tend to need to confirm for bookings. Given the number bookings I have to go it is inconvenient. But the tours that have been recommended so far have been fantastic.

Perfekt oplevelse, hvor vi fik set mange delfiner. Meget fin information fra besætningen undervejs om, hvad vi så. Vejret tillod, at vi kunne sejle gennem Hole in the Rock, så helt perfekt.

Fantastic experience, great commentary explaining historic sights etc. along the way. Beautiful weather and calm seas allowed us to go through the hole in the rock, and a bonus to encounter a pod of Common dolphins as well. Really enjoyable trip!

Great trip, worth the money. The Captain and crew were excellent! The Captains commentary and humour made the trip exciting and he had the whole boat happy and laughing.
We got to the Hole in the rock and had Dolphins join our boat ride twice. Would recommend to all ages.

Sadly the day was too rough for the full cruise. Wisely you did not attempt anything silly with safety no 1. You did your best to offer everyone alternatives which was the best I have seen for some time. The dolphins made the day
ENZ Experiences Ltd Review
Wow! What an awesome half day!! This is a big call but I'd say this is probably the best value for money trip in New Zealand. You get to see dolphins, cruise out to the Hole in the Rock, go for a swim at Otehei Bay and enjoy the spectacular Bay of Islands views from the comfort of the fast catamaran. All for under $100.
Suggestions: If you want to make a full day of it for no extra charge then book the morning departure and you can stay at Otehei Bay resort for 4 hours and wait for the afternoon boat to take you back to Paihia. Also be sure to take a sweater or jacket as it can get a bit cold on the boat if its windy.
