    Despite weather not being on our side to land at Cathedral Cove, it was still an awesome experience. Hayden was a great guide, very reassuring & provided much history & cultural significance of the area. To top things off, he also arranged a big dolphin pod to greet us as we were reaching our landing spot 😉 Great coffee & bickie to warm us up at the end. Thanks Hayden, we loved it!!

    Wonderful trip. Some hesitation about whether to go given a brisk wind, but decided it was OK; the guides were extremely competent and made sure everyone got launched safely, and masterfully guided us around the islands and out to Cathdral Bay, where they served espresso drinks(!) while we toured the photogenic spot, then shepherded us safely back to Hahei. The guides carried cameras, and shared a nice set of pictures on Flickr for us to keep as a souvenir of a great experience.

    We had an amazing day with Georgia kayaking around Cathedral Cove. We really appreciated their flexibility. The trip had to be rescheduled because of windy weather, and they rearranged the next day to accommodate our schedule. Georgia was very thorough in explaining what we needed to do and had a lot of interesting information about what we were seeing along the way. We’d highly recommend this event to anyone visiting the Whitianga/Hahei area,

    Very enjoyable trip in beautiful surroundings. We had to go elswhere bevause of the weather and the communication about this was very clear and done in time. The instructor was a very relaxed person with a good sense of humor and knew a lot about the area.

    Great experience! Appreciated that they called us and arranged for us to do an earlier tour because of bad weather forecast for later. Mason was an excellent guide, really helped with launching and landing on the beach, also made us barista quality hot drinks on the beach.

    We were welcomed right on the beach. The kayaks were prepared, and we received a clear introduction. The tour was very suitable for everyone. We took a break at Cathedral Cove, where our guide Mason prepared specialty coffee for us. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

    The communication leading up to our day couldn’t have been better. Not only did they offer info for their company/our tour, also suggested other activities. I was a bit nervous doing this excursion but once it got started, had no worries at all. Our guide Lui was awesome, friendly, informative, went out of his way to get to know/chat with each participant. He took good care of our group, ensured we had our “happy day”. So happy we had that experience, can’t wait until next time we are here/from Canada again!
