5.00We had an awesome time on the water. Our guide Gorgia was very knowledgeable and both guids looked very well after us. The delicious flat white at the beach after a refreshing swim was the best! Thank you so much guys, it was a great experience!

5.00Really recommend this as a way to see the coast around Cathedral Cove. Our guide, Hayden, talked about the geology and the human history of the area, which was great. But we also saw an eagle ray basking and red snapper swimming in the crystal clear water.
Great day

5.00Fantastic experience, and amazing staff from the get-go. AJ was our main tour guide, and Mason was also helping. From start to finish we loved the friendliness, professionalism, and entire experience. Honestly, wouldn’t change a thing. I am so glad we did this tour, and got to explore Cathedral Rock from a kayak. The kayaks are easy to operate, and groups were divided based on experience. I felt very comfortable, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone.
