Hahei boat tour

What an amazing trip we had. Totally recommend this tour as the boat can get into all the small places some of the bigger boats can’t go. Great skipper/ tour guide. Amazing sights. Thanks

Thanks Tarl. Feeling a lot of warm fuzzies from this review. Will pass it on to Michael who I am pretty sure was your skipper on that day.

Wonderful Morning on the Water

Highly recommend taking a trip on Hahei Explorer. We thoroughly enjoyed the sights, informative commentary and the boat trip itself. One of the highlights of our trip to NZ.

Absolute Must Do!

Amazing Experience!! This was more than we could have hoped for! Host and Tour guide (Michael) were outstanding. Knowledge of the area and history were exceptional - saw things that you just would not see if you walked to Cathedral Cove.

Hi Belinda. The boat tour stops at each point of interest so it will be calm at each spot. As our boat is an open top boat which is great for photography as other tour boats are enclosed. Depending on wind strength there may... More

Hi, I wish to know if we can take Scenic tours after coming to Cathedral Cove or do we need to pre-book tours prior to arrival.
