Kayak family fun around Catherderal Bay, NZ - What a fantastic afternoon. This new sa real treat, especially for a group of adventurous beginners and we felt safe every paddle along the way with our guide, Georgia. Very, very highly recommended.

Paradise Found - OMG What a wonderful team of people so polite and caring this is a trip that no one should miss!!! My guide was a lovely sweet young lady called mo ( just an abriviation of her first name) she worked so hard pulling the Kayaks into and out of the water by herself with 2 people inside bless her! And when we reached Cathedral Cove she had all of the stuff to make the whole group hot drinks from Coffee's to Hot Chocolate I would personally like to thank her from the bottom of my heart ❤ for a lovely trip xxx

An amazing way to spend and afternoon - A fantastic few hours spent in the Kayak with our tour guide Hayden. He had a broad range of knowledge on topics relevant to the area, from nature to human history/myth and even geology; fascinating stuff. The paddling was relatively easy and the cathedral cove itself is beautiful. There is even a choice of coffee at the halfway point, what’s not to love?

Add to your to-do list. - A fun experience and beautiful scenery. Lucky enough to have a sunny day but faced a head wind in the way to cathedral cove. The guide was great in giving us tips to make the journey easy and on the way back it was super easy. Stunning waters and coastline. You wont be disappointed.

Still awesome after 20 years. - The experience was as I remembered it 20 years ago. Mike my guide back is the owner. Hayden and AJ were our guides this time and were fabulous. Giving history off the bay and all the Maroi legend and lore.

Top experience! - It was a very nice experience. Well arranged and definitely recommended. Good guide with excellent knowledge. We had good weather, but there is always a chance that cannot go ahead due to weather conditions, so keep this in mind.

Must do experience if you are in the Coromandels - It’s the off peak season so there were just the 2 of us with 2 guides. Great personal experience, felt safe with the guides and they shared with us a lot of information about the beautiful area. Plus they made us some coffees at Cathedral Cove! Highly recommend this activity!

Awesome group activity! - This was a really fun (and well managed) kayak tour! The guides were so nice and welcoming + very knowledgeable about the area. The coffees on the beach at Cathedral Cove were a hit! Highly recommend. Thank you, Epsom Girls Grammar School.

Wonderful trip - We had a wonderful 3hr kayaking trip with our two sons aged (6 and 8). Hayden was so friendly and helpful and shared heaps of knowledge with us. We managed to spot loads of sting rays and the hot chocolate Hayden kindly made for us during our swim stop at cathedral cove were delicious! Thank you so much for a wonderful and memorable trip.
