Must do

This is well worth the cost. Shane takes the boat to areas you would normally never see. Deep into some sea caves especially. Really interesting journey.

Amazing sites

Highly recommend this tour. We got to see the Cathedral Cove and so much more along the islands and in the caves and the blow hole. This was one of the favorite things my family got to do while visiting me here in NZ!
