Exceptional Coromandel Boat Tour

Exceptional tour, great tour guides and fantastic day! We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the beautiful highlights of the Coromandel Coast.

Operator response

Thank you for your fantastic review! We love hearing that the Aldermen Islands exceeded your expectations. It's a truly special place, and being able to explore its towering volcanic cliffs, hidden coves and abundant marine life with such small groups is something we're incredibly proud to offer. It was our pleasure to have you on board, and we're so pleased you enjoyed the snorkelling, wildlife encounters and the relaxed atmosphere of the day. Thanks again for your recommendation—we hope to see you back in the Coromandel again soon!

Must do boat trip

Absolutely a 5 star trip. We went with the whole family including 2 young children and we had an awesome time. Our captain Richie was excellent, clearly very knowledgeable and proud of where he lives. The whole trip had that wonderful, relaxed but attentive New Zealand vibe and the boat was small enough to get really close to some amazing rock formations including a stunning sea cave. Huge shoals of fish as well and definitely bring your swim stuff as there's a good chance you'll be able to snorkel with them too

Operator response

Hi Georgina, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable day exploring the Aldermen Islands with us. It's always special to hear that the dramatic volcanic scenery, crystal-clear water and incredible wildlife made such an impression. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Richie and the crew - they're passionate about sharing this incredible part of the Coromandel and making every trip relaxed, informative and unforgettable. Thanks again for choosing to spend the day with us. We hope to welcome you back on the water again one day!

Fabulous few hours on the water

We had an amazing boat trip at the end of January with these guys. Richie was really informative and gave us a good idea of the area. He spent time telling us about the local legends and flora and fauna. His boat skills were excellent too.

Boat trip which was fun informative with beautiful scenery

Great boat trip. Fun and beautiful scenery Review of Cathedral Cove 2 Hour Guided Tour Explore Marine Wonders Reviewed 2 days ago This trip was amazing. So much fun. A great experience and the most beautiful scenery too. We saw Hot water beach. Dead sailors grave. Went in a beautiful cave and onto Cathederal cove. Nothing felt rushed. We were lucky to see dolphins lots of them and our guide was happy to spend extra time circling so we all got good photos. At the end he pulled into a bay with lots of red snappers and everyone swam. It was amazing Thanks Richie you made the experience feel unrushed and as if you just took out a bunch of friends. Thoroughly enjoyable. One thing I would say is a hoodie is useful because you do whip through the wind!! Even on hot days. Not a slow boring boat trip like some I have been on

Everyone had a blast!

Ocean adventures tour in gave us a magical time. Worth every penny. We stay in Pauanui and can get picked up at the wharf. This is our second time out with them and they always give 100%. Don’t worry about the weather they will see you have an amazing time. Richie is a great guy who is very knowledge able about the area and happy to share stories and explain the coastal wildlife. He goes above and beyond to see you have a great day out. I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area that doesn't have their own boat. We did Cathedral Cove tour this time and last time did Alderman’s both are amazing. So do them both!

A beautiful day on the water.

Very enjoyable and exciting fast ride through the coastal waters of Coromandel. The driver/guide was a pleasure, and offered different extras such as swimming and a beach walk at Cathedral Cove. We didn’t see any dolphins, but saw many large snapper by the boat.

Operator response

Thank you Kyle Glad you guys had an enjoyable experience onboard with us!

Simply the Best!

This experience was incredible. There was so much to see as well as Cathedral Cove. Hayden was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He also had a great sense of humour and was friendly with the passengers making us all feel valued and welcome, going the extra mile for us whenever possible. I am so glad we chose these tour operators. And they allowed my sister to sing in the cave which I will always remember. Thank you so much.

The best way to see Cathedral Cove

Would definitely recommend to everyone. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a great time. It’s a great way to see Cathedral Cove and all the other wonderful places on the way. The boat was very comfortable and had lots of shade.

Amazing boat adventure

Richie is an absolute legend! He was knowledgeable, professional and an excellent boat driver! We enjoyed his company on an afternoon boat tour around the local islands and we would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Tairua or the Coromandel area. His snorkelling gear was top notch and we had a great time! Thanks Richie! 😊
