Juste Wowwww - The visit is worth the visit, these rocks, this marine reserve are impressive... with 2 hours of walk we take full eyes. Especially since the guide was very friendly and attentive. We had a magical time.

A different perspective by boat . - Smooth ride, absolutely stunning scenery and a knowledgeable guide who made a 2 hour journey fly. We especially enjoyed the opportunity of going into the caves by boat.

A fascinating couple of hours on the water. - The tour was great, so much amazing geology. It was a good chance to see many of the well known sights on the East side of the Coromandel peninsula from the water, especially if you're short of time. Booking and check in was easy, and the team communicated effectively about possible changes due to weather conditions. Our skipper Justin made it interesting, was engaged with all the visitors, and found a smooth (ish!) passage through the sometimes choppy sea. Well worth it. Thanks team.

Incredible tour with Ocean Leopard Tours! - We had an amazing experience with Ocean Leopard Tours. Sam was a terrific captain and tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole trip fun and engaging. The volcanic coastline was absolutely stunning and we were lucky to see some beautiful marine wildlife along the way. The tour was smooth, scenic and well-paced. As a small, family-run business, they clearly care about delivering a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Whitianga. You won’t be disappointed! Ian & Anthea

Great voyage - We went in the afternoon so a jacket is recommended, as it can turn chilly. The pilot and his vessel are excellent and informative, many thanks for a wonderful voyage 👍🏼
