Traveled with my parents and I can just say, it was more than worth it! The crew knows what they are doing, the tour is very informative, refreshing and fun, you get provided with nice snorkeling equipment and it’s made sure that you actually see some fish! 5/5 would recommend!

The cruise was very lovely. There was beautiful scenery around the cathedral cove. The boat driver was very knowledgeable about the history of the monuments we came across. We also got to do some snorkelling seeing lots of fish which was fun. Overall it was a great experience.

Coves, Caves and Coastline by Cathedral Cove Scenic Cruises We had a wonderful morning out on the water exploring the Hahei coastline. The boat, small and human sized, felt extremely safe and allowed us to fully enjoy the scenery without ever feeling crowded. A special mention goes to Ken, our skipper: always available, full of great advice, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region. His explanations were both clear and fascinating, and truly enriched the experience. Another major advantage: their departure time is earlier than other companies. As a result, we were able to enjoy the most popular spots in a very peaceful atmosphere, almost alone, before the more touristy boats arrived. A real luxury. They also provide snorkelling gear on board, which is a great bonus if you want to explore the underwater life. Seeing the other boats out on the water later that day only confirmed that we had made the right choice. No hesitation whatsoever — we wholeheartedly recommend this excursion. An experience not to be missed https://youtu.be/YOTJDoifXbM

We had a great day with fantastic views of the coasts and with a lot of dolphins swimming up to the boat. There were only four of us on the boat and had a lot of fun. Absolutely recommend!
Excellent experience!

We had a beautiful day, with only 6 of us on board. The smaller boat allowed us to get up close and personal with the caves along the coastline. It was a great trip!
