Bay of Islands cruise

Well, no whales, but dolphins, one seal and lots of birds - including a rare sighting of a Giant Petrel. The cruise was excellent - 7 hours on the boat with great views and an informative commentary - and the trip through the Hole in the Rock. We were very lucky with the weather - partly cloudy but no rain, and the sea was not at all rough.

I now need to sort through 300 pictures to find the very few which actually show dolphins rather than just sea.
