We had a great time on the sea cave adventure. Ash really knew the history of the area and ask the best spots. The boat was able to get into the caves where the bigger boats couldn't go.

Easily the best sailing experience of my life! We were picked up by Matt on the beach and taken to his catamaran, which was supplied with comfortable cushions all over. As soon as we got out of the Bay he turned off the engine and we just went with the winds and got to relax. The route is similar to the other sightseeing boats around Whitianga, we visited Cathedral Cove and the marine reserve, where we also stopped for swimming and snorkeling. To add to the experience he offered us fresh coffee and selfmade cake, what a perfect way to start your day! Thank you for this awesome trip which I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who visits the Coromandel peninsula.

I loved the fact there were bean bags to sit on which was a very comfy way to travel! And that you could enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or a beer. Also there were blankets for when it turned cold and wet which it did on the return journey. I really enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy the beautiful coastline and to swim with so many fish around me! The skipper Matt wasn't very communicative bout was nice enough. The other sailer, Sam, she was great to chat to. Definately would recommend.

We picked a beautiful day so the weather was on our side. Until the return trip when the wind picked up which made it difficult and loooooong to return (the joys of sailing). Met on the beach and got taken out to the boat in a small inflatable. There was only 6 of us (holds 14) so we had plenty of space on the boat. Was lovely just sitting on the nets in very comfortable beanbags. Two crew who were super friendly and gave us just enough commentary about the boat and trip itself. We stopped for a swim at the nature reserve and the snapper were HUGE. Wish we also stopped at cathedral cove but it was just a slow sail by. We were offered coffee, tea, juice and a baked treat. We did the morning cruise so were back in time for lunch at one of the waterfront cafes. We had a great day on the water :)

An amazing catamaran experience, thankfully a gorgeous, bright summer day, calm waters with just the right amount of breeze and a very cool crew of 2, Jordy and Sam. Both were excellent communicators, friendly, fun, kind, knowledgeable about the area and skilful and attentive when managing on deck changes, sails, safety and in water fun like snorkelling. Shortly after sailing we were offered refreshments, later home baked date loaf, then after snorkelling delicious fresh fruit platter. The timing for each course was perfect and nothing was a big deal. The length of the cruise was excellent value for spend, comfortable bean bags and just being able to laze across the multihull nets, while soaking up the whole experience was amazing. We would absolutely recommend the experience and will definitely be enjoying it ourselves again. Thank you Jordy, Sam & owner Mat.

Air Auckland went above and beyond during our scenic flight to Whitianga. We were transported in a luxurious, air-conditioned shuttle from the airport to the restaurant, making our journey comfortable and hassle-free. Mike, our pilot, was friendly and communicative, pointing out interesting sights along the way. The views were stunning, and the well-maintained plane added to the overall experience. We also had a delicious lunch at Stoked, which was a great addition to the trip. Overall, I highly recommend Air Auckland for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Auckland. Their exceptional service and attention to detail made the trip a memorable one.

My friend and I had a lovely day out on this tour. We are both in our mid 60s, fit and active, love adventures and meeting nice people. This tour fulfilled exactly what was described in the itinerary, there was flexibility and the driver was an absolute star. There were plenty of stops for refreshments (not provided) and bathroom breaks. There were 7 of us (including the driver) from 6 different countries so we had an interesting conversations also. By the end of the day some of us had exchanged details so that we can stay in touch. I recommend this tour.

Excellent experience end-to-end. Have already recommended company + trip to others. Loved being able to move around bow to stern…or stay inside in very comfy seats if wished. Toilet onboard a bonus & great for a quick change after snorkelling (optional but I recommend…appreciated that life jackets are freely offered to make your floating easier & which I + others took up)
