Review of: One Hour Cathedral Cove Boat Tour in Hahei
We were fortunate enough to do this tour on a perfect winters day. Tom was excellent to deal with on the phone and we appreciated the flexibility he gave us as we weren’t sure if our 5yo would actually want to go. It all worked out in the end. Oscar was a fabulous guide and all about our boat absolutely loved our hour out on the water with him. The scenery was breathtaking and we were very lucky to see a humpback whale, 2 cheeky fur seals and some very friendly snapper. Everyone I bumped into during the rest of our stay in Hahei, I recommended that they go and do this! Thanks team, keep up the great work!…

Oliver was our skipper and he and his colleague made our trip fantastic. Changed the time the night before to suit better weather. Thanks! Oliver ensured not a splash of water reached us in the boat. Being winter it was cold so rug up and be prepared to get your feet wet as you enter and exit the boat but don’t let that stop you, this trip is nothing short of fantastic. Informative and fun and today, we had the place to ourselves. Just nature and us 4 as we explored the majesty and mystery of this coastline including some truly amazing caves. 9km2 area is marine reserve and the size of snapper we saw near cathedral cove were great! Thanks Oliver and team for taking us 4 out today. We all had a fabulous time. Well worth doing it anytime but especially out of summer/ tourist season and see the area without hundreds of others! I will leave a surprise but let me say the last cave is the best. Magical! Thanks Gemma and friends. …

Tom was an excellent guide on our tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and history of Hahei as well as the surrounding bays/islands. This tour was the highlight of our Coromandel trip, especially being able to enter some of the caves - the acoustics were phenomenal. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hahei!…
