5.00Absolutely wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. You will miss out a great adventure if you choose a different boat tour Ash is an extraordinary skipper and a very kind and interesting guide. He took us into many coves, some of them appeared impossible to enter. We were constantly at awe.
Wonderful engaging tour!

5.00Highly recommend! Ash was such a wonderful and welcoming guide, we had a really fun tour! We liked that it was a smaller boat so we were able to navigate into a lot of caves and see more of the coastline up close. We saw lots of fish, birds, cool rock formations and a fur seal.
Awesome experience!

5.00Ash's experience and knowledge of the area, ancestory and geology made the trip really enjoyable. He went out of his way to help us have the best experience and had blankets on board for those sea-breezy moments. To see the landscape from the water's edge is by far the ideal way to enjoy Coromandel. Highly rate this trip.
Incredible….the absolute best

5.00Absolutely amazing amd great value for money. Ash our tour guide shared a lot of local knowledge and pointed out movie set areas. Dispite the high swell, it was a very pleasant trip due to Ash's great driving. Would highly recomend this tour to anyone.

5.00I went this January with my girlfriend and we had such a good time. Read plenty of reviews that mentioned how great Ash was as a guide and it lived up to the hype! Such a great time with great insight to the area. He made sure everyone got to do and see what they wanted to. I wanted to do some cliff jumping and he took me to some huge rocks. We finished by anchoring up and doing some snorkeling. Definitely recommend especially since the cathedral cove trail has been shut down for so long!
The best boat trip you can do.

5.00What a trip. Absolutely fantastic and the caves were brilliant. We got to see the caves up close and personal with some great boatmanship from our ‘Captain’ Ash. We got to see a sea boiling with fish and catch some (they were set free!). Swimming with fish. Highly recommended.

5.00This experience was great and, besides the beautiful coast line, Ash, the guide of the tour made all the difference. He was so nice and compassionate and caring. He wanted to make it unforgettable for each and everyone on the trip. He is also an excellent boat driver which made all the difference getting in the caves.
The best

5.00This was a great experience. We got so close and in so many caves. I went on a similar tour in a glass bottom bigger boat a few years ago and this was sooo much better. We even got to jump of a cliff at the opening of a cave into the water. The guides a so good and so knowledgeable. He and his wife worked with marine life for years before settling and having kids. Highly, highly recommend
