Nothing but fun! - This trip was the best! I would recommend a thousand times over! Ken, our captain and the owner, was so fun and knowledgeable. He even helped us get great photos and videos! From start to finish a blast! Our best boat tour during our 6 week stay in NZ and the cost was so reasonable. If you want a personalized trip full of fun take this one!

Best tour in the area - Great small tour, much better than a larger tour. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Each place we stopped at was explained and they gave everyone an opportunity to view areas by turning the boat. Some time for swimming and the hosts gave us some other recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!

Best boat trip from Whitianga - The best way to see the coast is from a boat and Baz certainly gave us some fantastic views. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing all about the history and geology which made the coastline. Had a great swim with the fish.

Great cruise to cathedral cove and more. - Great option for doing a free hours cruising along the magnificent coastline towards cathedral cove. The boat itself is great, a fast Rib . Small numbers onboard, Baz and Neece are very welcoming and knowledgable. They stop in a lovely spot for snorkelling, all Kit supplied. Loads of fish to see. You don’t need glass bottoms in your boat! This cruise is just the job. We really recommend it.
