Too rough for Hole in Rock but still cruised the islands. Didn't see any dolphins. The island stop-off was a bit short to buy food and explore the island on foot.

The weather did not permit us to visit the Hole in the Rock, however, cruising around the sheltered Islands with an informative, entertaining and well delivered commentary of its history up to the present day was more than adequate. Along with seeing a pair of NZ'S Saddle-back birds on the island.
