Overview

Discover Cathedral Cove and beyond with Hahei Explorer, the original Cathedral Cove boat tour since 1992.

Departing straight from Hahei Beach, our small-group adventure takes you along 14km of spectacular volcanic coastline, exploring towering sea caves, hidden bays, offshore islands and the beautiful Te Whanganui-o-Hei Marine Reserve.

Our custom-built boats are small enough to explore places larger vessels can't reach, taking you right into sea caves and tucked-away corners of the coastline. With Cathedral Cove just minutes from our departure point, you'll spend less time travelling and more time exploring.

Along the way, our friendly local skippers share stories of the area's geology, Māori history and marine life. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, penguins and other wildlife.

Family-owned, locally operated and exploring these waters for over 30 years, we love sharing this special part of the Coromandel with our visitors.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Cathedral Cove Boat Tour in Hahei?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
