Cave Cruzer Boat Tours is the original Whitianga Marine Adventure Tour, offering one-of-a-kind boat trips to Coromandel and the stunning Cathedral Cove. Our open vessel gives you 360 degree unimpeded views, NO ROOF means you can experience the full height of the majestic landscape and will take you into places that other boats cannot. You will learn local history of interest and visit caves, blowholes and the Marine Reserve where you will see an abundant amount of sea life. Our experienced boat tours team in Coromandel will take you to the world famous Cathedral Cove, the beautiful set used for part of the Prince Caspian/Narnia movies. Shakespeares Cliff, Cooks Blowhole, Champagne Rock and the Orua Sea Cave (NZ’s 2nd biggest sea cave), to name a few. NZ Fur Seals can be seen frolicking in the crystal clear waters from time to time and maybe Dolphins or Orca if you are really lucky, we have a NZ Department of Conservation licence to view all Marine life in the area. Safety is paramount and we as a company are committed to providing you with the best experience in the ‘Bay’ on the day. This area is a photographers dream!
With two tours on offer, we have options for the adrenaline junkie in the family, while the other is a more laid-back cruise both offering the same scenic views.
Our boat trips from Whitianga to Cathedral Cove are designed for maximum enjoyment, ensuring the best value for money when it comes to things to do in Whitianga. With an opportunity to snorkel on both tours, the only difference between our tours is that one is designed for thrill-seekers looking for an adrenaline-paced speed boat experience, while the other is a more laid-back, scenic boat cruise.
You will have incredible photo opportunities with complimentary tour photos posted on Facebook for you to download and cherish. Our tours ensure you have ample time to explore small caves and enjoy up-close encounters with the stunning scenery.
Keep in mind that there’s a wealth of natural wonders beyond our flagship destination, Cathedral Cove, waiting to be explored – and they’re only accessible by boat. We make extra stops to ensure you experience the finest spots available, customised to suit the day’s conditions.

Amazing views. Brian gave us plenty of time to take photos and had heaps of information on the history of all the places we saw. Was very exciting going fast and doing sharp turns in the water. Brian offered jackets when it was raining. We also got to enter so many caves which was very cool. Would recommend highly!
– Victoria M., TripAdvisorWith a number of different boat tours to choose from to visit Cathedral Cove, the Cave Cruzer thrill ride appealed the most. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Our skipper, Brian, provided the perfect balance of information, scenic stops and pure adrenaline charged twists and turns! Being a small boat we got to go inside a few of the caves, including Orua, the second largest sea cave in NZ where ACDC provided us with an example of how good the acoustics are!! Great couple of hours of fun!
– Vanlife’s A Jem, TripAdvisorThis was absolutely incredible. Brian was a superb captain and guide. His knowledge of the area is on point. He runs a professional business but still possesses good humour. Additionally, he realises that little things like being in the front of the boat is something everyone wants to do and as a result, manages this perfectly.
– Justin, TripAdvisorWent on a sunny 11 am trip. Brian did a funny safety briefing, then we set of at high speed. Sea was calm, he took us into lots of coves with his highly manoeuvrable boat, played Adele to showcase the acoustics in a cave, saw lots of fish. Could have done snorkelling, tour took about 2 hours. Absolute must, catamaran tours will not get you as close, neither will the much slower glass bottom boat tours. Book Brian for a great trip
