Great experience

This trip was overall very worth the money. My older parents and I both had a great time. She views are stunning, the boat itself is very new and and clean and comfortable, and the staff were top notch. Our skipper, Chris, was very knowledgeable and talked just the right amount. Sienna and Libby answered questions, were helpful with all sorts of things, and very kind. We really enjoyed this part of our trip and I would definitely do it again.

Highlight of the trip

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Super friendly staff, a clean environment, and stunning scenery. Snorkelling equipment is provided, and there’s also warm running water available for a rinse.

Amazing

I love love the experience it was so nice to be out on the water.. the tour was great and you get to snorkel.. unfortunately I couldn't due to wearing prescription glasses so take that into account when booking. Either way I still jumped in and had a great time. Would recommend

10/10 trip

Chris and the team were fantastic. We would highly recommend giving their boat tour a go when you are in Whitianga. The boat is clean comfortable and spacious. Commentary is top notch and the snorkelling was so much fun! We were lucky enough to visit the cave, along with the marine reserve and cathedral cove is just as stunning from the water, as it is from the beach itself. My son of 5 had a great time - we would definitely do it again when next in the coromandel.
