Beautiful experience in scenic cathedral cove - Friendly staff and captain guided us through the cute town and snorkel after a quick visit to the cathedral cove. We saw lots of fish including my highlight of a young graceful stingray. The snorkeling experience through weeds, rocks and caves is very different from past experiences!

Cathedral Cove Snorkeling - Wanna see the Cathedral Cove from the waterside and enjoy the underwater world? Yes, then go with them. Super friendly people, new and clean equipment, very good introduction and 60min snorkeling.

Great snorkeling experience - Our snorkeling trip was great, and the fish and kelp forests were amazing. The company did a fine job. Before snorkeling they took us by Cathedral Cove and we spent several minutes looking at the beach and its famous arch from different angles from our boat - really cool! The only problem was a limited selection of stronger prescription goggles.

Great experience and great crew - My son and I completed our open water dive certificates with Cathedral Cove Dive. We choose these guys because we love Hahei’s beach and coastline, and these guys were highly recommended by a mate. Fair to say that I underestimated what was required to complete the certificate and it ended up being 3 pretty intense but amazing days of education and diving. Our dive instructor Grace was fantastic, she was incredibly experienced and patient and is a natural teacher who provided clear instructions and demonstrations for each skill and plenty of encouragement and support as we went through our own routines. The rest of the boat and land crew were excellent and made sure we were comfortable and had all the right gear and advice to complete our certificates. The dive environment was beautiful with 8-10m visibility consistently, diverse terrain, crystal clear water and plenty of marine life including stingrays, heaps of fish and some crayfish. We’ll be heading back in summer to do some more diving!
