Great trip thanks! - This was a really good way to see the coast here, especially since the Cathedral Cove path is still closed. The boat we went on had wheels and drove straight up onto the beach which meant we didn’t even get our feet wet! Apart from Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove, we saw snapper, mahi mahi and a grumpy sea lion. Well recommended!

Great Time - It was an amazing one-hour trip, with beautiful sights and a fun boat ride. I would recommend it to those who want to see Cathedral Cove (the walkway to the cove is still down as of September 2024) and other beautiful places that can only be reached by boat. You see a lot in one hour and the tour guide of our excursion gave great insights about the places he showed us.

Great organisation to get the maximum time on the water - Excellent tour, exceptionally good and efficient organisation at the beach to "turnover" the guests on the boats to get the maximum time on the water. Very pleased to see that there are companies that truely seek to provide the max what can be expected for money. We saw a lot of cool places along the cost and the boat did stop considerably longer in the Cathedral Cove area so that everyone could get a good view and take in the sight.

Great way to see Cathedral Cove - We really enjoyed this tour. Knowing that Cathedral Cove is closed due to landslip, we opted for this tour and we were not disappointed. Tom, our skipper, was very personable and knowledgeable. The online booking process was easy, the confirmation communications really clear and what better way to see Cathedral Cove and the surrounding coast and islands.

Great couples adventure - Well done - easy from start to finish. You load/unload on the beach in the water at knee-high depth, so be prepared to go barefoot. Experienced skipper knew his stuff. Friendly staff. Awesome experience all around.
