First of all, the ride in the rubber inflatable zodiac type boat which seats about 8 is a blast!

From Waikato through... More

We booked the trip on our last day in NZ and it was a great way to finish our holiday. Les is a fantastic guide, informative and funny. Forget trying to park and walk to the cove, you get a far better view from the sea and no crowds. Just the boat ride was worth the very reasonable cost.

We had planned on taking the ferry from Whitianga across the estuary & walking to Cooks Bay & onto Cathedral Cove however ran out of time to fit everything in so we booked a 2 hour trip on a sight seeing boat from the wharf instead. We were picked up together with about 7 others in an open topped rib... More

We booked up the tour she mentioned and we were blown away by the value. We saw all the coves from Whitianga to Hot Water Beach, caves, blow-holes and we got a history lesson along... More

5 reviews Cathedral Cove is a must do for a visitor to Whitianga. Thought I would do the walk for that experience and then looked at boat tours. So glad went this way as seeing this amazing coastline from the water with Les who took his smallish boat into all the nooks and caves of this amazing coastline was great. Would definitely... More

HI Maree, Thank you so much for taking the time to review your trip with us, I really appreciate hearing all the feedback from everyone on board. Experiencing the coastline from the water is truly something magical, so much more to see that can't be done from land however I must admit both have their advantages. Getting inside and right...
