It was an amazing experience and our skipper, Shona was very informative. We absolutely loved it and have decided we will be back for another go!

This 2.5 hour tour was a highlight of our time in Whitianga. Being in a smaller boat with a smaller group allows you to get up close (and drive into) the caves. Ash, the guide / owner was incredible and provided so much interesting information. So much better than the bigger boat tours in town. Try to go at high tide for beat cave access.

This trip is absolutely awesome and Ash was a fantastic guide. The smaller boat provided a very family like atmosphere and can get into caves other boats can’t. Highly recommended.

This is was one of the highlights of our two week trip to NZ. Ash could not have been friendlier and took us to the most spectacular caves and coves - it truly was a magical experience. Ash even dove in to the water and brought out sea urchins and then showed us how to eat them right there and then. I cannot recommend this tour enough - it really was such a special day
