Amazing - Chris and Adam - our 2 Captains were absolutely fabulous ans could not have done any more to make this experience any better. The trip was such fun, very informative, with spectacular scenery including Cathedral Cove. We also had the opportunity to go snorkeling. But what we enjoyed the most was their passion and commitment to the environment and the future well being of the seas. A must do trip with these guys.

A day to remember. - I had an incredible experience on our day trip, all thanks to the wonderful staff on board. From start to finish, they were attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. I was feeling very sea sick Koral and Sienna were so amazing and caring. The crew shared fascinating insights about the area and navigated us through some stunning spots. They were well-prepared with everything we needed—from refreshments to safety equipment—and made sure to check in with each guest to see if we needed anything throughout the trip. Special shout-out to -Jeremy, Koral and Sienna for going above and beyond in making the trip memorable! Their warmth and energy truly made the experience feel personal. Highly recommend this trip and this amazing crew! Nga Mihi Monisha, Namrata, Akash, Simran, Ranbir and Abhishek.

If you can choose a calm,... - If you are lucky to have a calm, sunny day, you will see more, but we thoroughly enjoyed our Mercury Bay Discovery Tour of the Cathedral Cove coast despite the choppy water. The scenery is fabulous and the crew were knowledgeable about the history of the area, and looked after us well. Lovely to see the seal pups. A great way to see Cathedral Cove while the walking track is closed for repairs.

Great day at sea - The 4 of us had a great trip with Graham and Ester. Even though the swell was a bit high, the boat was perfectly suited and Graham did a great job as Skipper. We didn’t partake in the swimming option but loved all the commentary and stunning scenery. Ester was a perfect crew/ co host and made everyone feel at ease. Definitely recommend for any ages.

A memorable day of exploration with Mercury Bay Discovery Boat - My experience aboard the Mercury Bay Discovery Boat was nothing short of extraordinary. The exceptional crew members, Adam and Ella's enthusiasm was infectious, making them perfect guides. The highlight of the day for me was undoubtedly, snorkelling with the fish.
