4.00The description said you're going ashore at the cathederal. That was not the case. It's too bad.
An excellent experience

5.00An excellent 2 hour boat tour. Sam, our driver and guide was very good. She clearly explained all the rock formations, history and geology of the area. She provided ample opportunities for photography. Her local knowledge of fishing and kiwi bird protection was interesting and enlightening. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Sam made our tour

5.00Lovely tour and great day out for the kids. The operator took extra effort to make sure we saw the cove and all part of the penesylla from various angles. His knowledge about local locations and his story telling was very good
