5.00A great way to experience the caves and coastline from Hahei beach. It’s worth checking when high tide is so that you can visit the blowhole. We went into several caves too.
Great excursion!

5.00We only did the boat tour as we hadn't taken suitable footwear for the walk to Cathedral Cove, and what a great outcome! We loved our tour... entertaining and informative with beautiful scenery... best appreciated from the sea. It was good value for money and I'd recommend it as an easy way of seeing the highlights in the area.
Unbelievable experience!
