Overview

This 2.5-hour tour departs from Whitianga on the Mercury Star, an eco-friendly catamaran powered by two low-emission outboard engines. The vessel provides a stable and comfortable ride with good visibility and enough space to move around. The catamaran sails along the coast to Cathedral Cove and a nearby coastal cave. At these locations, passengers can take part in a snorkeling activity using the provided snorkeling equipment. After snorkeling, guests can use the warm fresh water shower and restroom facilities on board. Tea, coffee, and water are available for purchase during the trip.

Our journey to the breathtaking Cathedral Cove and the surrounding marine reserve showcases the region’s stunning volcanic landscapes and diverse marine life with snorkeling and swimming opportunities. Although Cathedral Cove is one of the highlights of this tour, there is more dramatic scenery to discover on the Pacific coastline, including Orua Sea Cave, Champagne Rocks, isolated islands, and pristine sandy beaches. Throughout the journey, our professional and friendly guide and skipper will showcase their in-depth knowledge of the natural wonders and rich history of the land, providing commentary over our built-in speaker system. Your comfort is our priority, with tea and coffee available, a shower, and a toilet on board for your convenience. Our experienced staff will ensure your safety and hope to provide you with an unforgettable experience when discovering our magical coastline with us.
