  We had an amazing boat trip at the end of January with these guys. Richie was really informative and gave us a good idea of the area. He spent time telling us about the local legends and flora and fauna. His boat skills were excellent too.

  Great boat trip. Fun and beautiful scenery Review of Cathedral Cove 2 Hour Guided Tour Explore Marine Wonders Reviewed 2 days ago This trip was amazing. So much fun. A great experience and the most beautiful scenery too. We saw Hot water beach. Dead sailors grave. Went in a beautiful cave and onto Cathederal cove. Nothing felt rushed. We were lucky to see dolphins lots of them and our guide was happy to spend extra time circling so we all got good photos. At the end he pulled into a bay with lots of red snappers and everyone swam. It was amazing Thanks Richie you made the experience feel unrushed and as if you just took out a bunch of friends. Thoroughly enjoyable. One thing I would say is a hoodie is useful because you do whip through the wind!! Even on hot days. Not a slow boring boat trip like some I have been on

• Everyone had a blast!

  Ocean adventures tour in gave us a magical time. Worth every penny. We stay in Pauanui and can get picked up at the wharf. This is our second time out with them and they always give 100%. Don’t worry about the weather they will see you have an amazing time. Richie is a great guy who is very knowledge able about the area and happy to share stories and explain the coastal wildlife. He goes above and beyond to see you have a great day out. I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area that doesn't have their own boat. We did Cathedral Cove tour this time and last time did Alderman’s both are amazing. So do them both!

• A beautiful day on the water.

  Very enjoyable and exciting fast ride through the coastal waters of Coromandel. The driver/guide was a pleasure, and offered different extras such as swimming and a beach walk at Cathedral Cove. We didn’t see any dolphins, but saw many large snapper by the boat.

• Simply the Best!

  This experience was incredible. There was so much to see as well as Cathedral Cove. Hayden was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He also had a great sense of humour and was friendly with the passengers making us all feel valued and welcome, going the extra mile for us whenever possible. I am so glad we chose these tour operators. And they allowed my sister to sing in the cave which I will always remember. Thank you so much.

• The best way to see Cathedral Cove

  Would definitely recommend to everyone. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a great time. It’s a great way to see Cathedral Cove and all the other wonderful places on the way. The boat was very comfortable and had lots of shade.

  Richie is an absolute legend! He was knowledgeable, professional and an excellent boat driver! We enjoyed his company on an afternoon boat tour around the local islands and we would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Tairua or the Coromandel area. His snorkelling gear was top notch and we had a great time! Thanks Richie! 😊

  An absolutely awesome experience. Richie was a wealth of knowledge and his obvious love of this amazing part of the world made for a most memorable afternoon. Stunning scenery, personal service and superb commentary - 5 Stars!
