5.00Sam was our Captain and she was great. Sam gave us plenty of information, lots of time to see all the sights and to ask questions. We came across on the passenger ferry and where we alighted is where we took the tour. So easy.
A must do!!

5.00Honestly, this was the best thing we did in the Coromandel while there. Ocean Leopard was a huge highlight - we even saw dolphins - so amazing!! The boat is super comfortable, the tour guide was knowledgable and engaging. You see a beautiful side of Coro (and some amazing properties) that you couldn't otherwise see. Can't recommend this highly enough!! A must-do when in Coro!
Sammy was knowledgeable,...

5.00Great tour. Sam was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot. Lots of areas pointed out for further exploration and it was great to be able to go into a sea cave. We also felt very safe throughout. Thank you, Sam - fab skipper & tour guide!

5.00Sam our captain was first class. Great safe demo. Sam was very knowledgeable about her work. A pleasure to see the sites from a different angle, the sea as we have only seen them from the land. Well worth doing the trip.
An awesome tour and experience in the Coromandel brought to you by Ocean Leopard.

5.00We booked a private tour with Ocean Leopard and it really exceeded expectations. The boat was really comfortable and the tour was amazing. Our skipper was Sam and she was super friendly, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour covers a big part of the awesome coastline and we swam in a part of the marine reserve where there were many species of fish. I recommend you bring snorkel gear to experience and see the amazing sea life. If you would like to experience something really awesome in the Coromandel, book a tour with Ocean Leopard. I would definitely book with them again. Big thanks to Ocean Leopard.
Great tour with Justin
