Experience the fastest and most thrilling way to explore the Bay of Islands onboard the aptly named ‘Excitor’! 

From Paihia your 40 knot powerboat racer will take you surging through the waves as you explore some of the 144 islands in the Bay of Islands.  This area of astounding natural beauty is one of many contrasts where you will see harsh craggy cliffs and outlying rocky islands as well as remote picturesque coves and sandy beaches, and witness the abundance of marine life that calls this area home.  Due to the Excitor’s speed and manoeuvrability you will get to see more of these amazing natural features in this one and a half hour tour with ample opportunities for photos.

The highlight of your tour will certainly be your visit to the famous ‘Hole in the Rock’ where, if conditions are favourable, your expert skipper will navigate your way through the treacherous gap and on to Grand Cathedral Cave and the lighthouse at Cape Brett.  Your return journey will really get your adrenaline pumping as the fastest powerboat of its size in New Zealand sets off at full pace over the waves back to Piahia.
