So much fun!!! - This was the best and quickest way to see the hole in the rock, it wasn’t scary and it was great we got so close and were able to go through the hole twice and once to go into the cave on the other side, our boat captain was fantastic and pointed out so many interesting things

Fast and furious - This boat trip makes any other boat trips look tame ! This was so fast, fun and scary all at the same time. The crew were amazing and you better hold on cause it isn’t for the faint hearted. This was the best boat to see the hole in the rock and really good info along the way

Great trip - Fast way to see and experience the Hole in the Rock. Very enjoyable. I didn’t get seasick, probably because it was an open boat.
