Cathedral Cove Day Trip

5.00We were welcomed at the wharf by Sam our skipper. We all knew who Sam was as we had read the previous reviews and they were spot on. Sam greeted us enthusiastically and was like that for the entire trip. Her commentary was fabulous and answered all our questions about the area. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to discover Cathedral Cove by boat.
Captain Sam wins again

5.00Captain Sam turns every trip into pure sunshine — a smooth ride on the Ocean Leopard, sea caves booming hello, and marine life popping up like they’re in on the joke. Five stars feels stingy for a skipper this good.
Top class

5.00Great trip around the beautiful coastline to see the beaches and wildlife from the water. Sam was our friendly and fun skipper who shared her knowledge about the area and answered questions, generously. If you want a safe, fun, customer-focused experience this one is for you.
Stunning, interesting and most enjoyable!

5.00We greatly enjoyed our excellent tour with the very capable, friendly and knowledgeable Justin. In addition to a stunning tour of the coast, he made interesting and humorous points about what we saw (flora, fauna, history, geology etc) and always ensured that everyone had ample opportunities to take pictures. His handling of the boat (including in a cave with swell!) was impressive. Very safe and competent! Highly recommend. Thank you!
You should give it a go, especially if not having a lot of time to explore.
