This organisation is excellent

The skipper was great and very knowledgeable of the area, environment and history as well as being skilled in boat handling. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see something different and also learn more about the area they are visiting. 5 Stars.

One of the most beautiful areas of the Coromandel Peninsula

After previously visiting Cathedral Cove, a regular attraction for hikers, this was a highlight to see it from a totally different perspective.

An incredibly great value excursion

Words can't describe what you actually see. For the entire hour I was wowed seeing nature at its best. One of the best things I have done in the whole of New Zealand.

Magical, fun and mind blowing

This one-hour boat trip in Hahei’s marine reserve explores sea caves and takes you past incredible scenery. We chose the Hahei Explorer because we really wanted to see the blow hole. Highly recommend! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

A Must Do in Hahei

I've been coming to hahei for 10 years and have never had this much fun and seen all these things! Very informative, amazing views and just quintessentially New Zealand.

I’m so glad we chose this instead of walking to Cathedral Cove

Once in a lifetime experience. Our captain did a fantastic job explaining everything we were seeing. Honestly I’d love to go again next time we visit. Just perfect.

This is a must-do

Caves, islands, blowhole, marine-life, commentary - this tour has it all. And the tamariki haven’t stopped talking about it all day. Magic.

Absolutely loved every minute of it!

The scenery, the glistening water and the information was outstanding. Plus we saw a large pod of dolphins, a life highlight!

A must do for young and old

Just amazing and so breathtaking!! Our party was aged from 4-64 and we were all blown away by the stunning geology. Take the tour. You will be so glad you did. It’s been an absolute highlight of our stay in NZ.
