Scenic Cruises

Coromandel Marine Farm Cruise

This tour is a must to start your Coromandel experience

Lets cruise along the Thames Coast enjoying the magnificent view of the Coromandel Ranges and rugged coastline that make our Peninsula postcard perfect. Visit Te Kouma harbour - Manaia inlet - Deadmans Point Coromandel harbour - Be amazed as huge barges manoeuvre through the Wilson Bay marine farms harvesting mussels for local and export markets.

Island Tour

Today we catch a little History, a little Nature and a lot of relaxation as we travel through the still waters of the Coromandel Harbour, enjoying the serenity as large sea birds soar above searching for food.  We pass through the gap and head for the black rocks, elephant cove and happy jack island.  We will watch sea gulls nesting and nature at its best as gannets dive from great heights into the water to feed off the unsuspecting sea life.  Marine farms cover a large area of the sea, so sea and bird life are abundant.  A tour not to be missed.

Sea Bird Coast Cruise  

The seabird Coast extends from the southern mangrove forest in the Firth of Thames to North Eastern shores of Kawakawa Bay and is the home of 20 to 25,000 migrationary seabirds that migrate from their artic breeding grounds and congregate on the ancient chenier shell banks- shoals -and sandy areas of pipie beds.
