A true delight!

So enjoyed our trip today with Lez! The views were spectacular. Lez did a great job narrating while navigating us in and out of the caves. If you are in Whitianga, don’t miss it!

A MUST DO ADVENTURE!

Captain Lou was great. The two of us were the only ones on this fun little boat. The fact that this wasn’t a very profitable trip for Cap Lou, didn’t stop him from giving us 100 percent. We were on the boat for 2-1/4 hours...More
