Chose this tour based on the fast boat, duration and places visited. One of the best decisions I made for our holiday. Brian was knowledgeable, funny and accommodating, and the boat is fast, comfortable and maneuverable. We enjoyed a swim and jump off the rock in front of Whale Cave, saw beautiful fish and great sea caves. I will do this tour again if I ever get the chance.

We did the thrills tour. Absolutely awesome. It was so much fun. Brian took us to some amazing places. This is a very special part of the coast and Brian is the person to take you. The boat is an open design so you get the full experience when inside the caves.

What a fabulous activity. Brian is a great guide and it’s a thrilling ride. Highly recommended. We saw so many interesting parts or the Coromandel Coast I a comfortable and safe boat as well as experience the thrills of racing through the water. Brian found us a safe place to snorkel even though there were some big swells elsewhere. The goggles and snorkel were excellent too and didn’t let any water in. Don’t worry where you sit as Brian makes sure that you change seats regularly throughout the trip and he provides excellent opportunities for photography.
