Day tripping

Seeing the Coromandel coastline from the water gives another view that you cannot get to on foot. Our guide was excellent, he has a real passion for conservation and protecting the environment. Being a local and owner operator his enthusiasm and wit made the trip very enjoyable. The boat has a full 360 view, no bad seat. Loved the cave experience, such great colours, clear water and fish jumping

Fabulous Tour

Amazing trip out to Cathedral Cove and the marine sanctuary. The boat was new and really impressive. Chris is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. It was great to see all the sights from the water. Would highly recommend touring with Mercury Bay Discoveries!
