Excellent!

Informative and fun. Adam was highly knowledgeable about his home town and coastline - showing a care and passion for the marine environment without preaching ! Libby was a lovely hostess. Highly recommend this trip.

What a blast!

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Cathedral Cove and Coastal boat tour and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived at Whitianga Marina, we were personally greeted by Libby and Mateo, who instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. They offered us drinks, chatted easily with us, and created such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere right from the start. Adam, the owner and captain, was fantastic. His knowledge of the coastline, local culture, geology, and marine life made the tour incredibly interesting. Along the way, they pointed out stunning beaches, beautiful grottoes, and even showed us marine life, which was a real highlight. They also offered snorkelling as part of the tour, which was a great bonus. But even if you choose not to take part, there is absolutely no need to worry about feeling left out or bored. The crew are happy to answer questions, share stories, and point out so many interesting features along the coast that the time flies by. What truly stood out was the extra care they took with our 5 year old, who was absolutely spoiled with attention and had the most amazing experience. It meant so much to us as parents to see how thoughtful and kind the whole crew was. It was a perfect day on the sea and one of the highlights of our time in the area. We booked through book.me and would do it again in a heartbeat. We will definitely be recommending this tour operator to all of our guests and friends. Thank you Adam, Mateo, and Libby for such a memorable experience!
