HI Chris. Our water temperature stays warm until May (20 - 22 degrees celcius). Cheers, Tim

There are no lock up facilities but you can take small valuables with you in a dry bag they provide. Shoes are left in a tub on the beach and the team say someone is always there but they get called away to help with boat launching. I would lock all other personal items in your car boot.

I did this tour as part of a full day tour from Auckland with Tui Tours.

HI nimonka Dolphins and Orcas are totally random when they come through our area and one month is just as good as the next. Humpback and Brydes Whales we see on the rare occasion in the month of October as we are in their migratory path. Thanks

Hi. We stay on the boat for the entire tour. Cathedral Cove is one part of the tour but we also go out to the islands and drive through archways and into seacaves down the Southcoast. We go into the Marine Reserve and see large fish coming up to the boat, birds and any other marine life that is in the bay on the day. Thanks

Hi Belinda. The boat tour stops at each point of interest so it will be calm at each spot. As our boat is an open top boat which is great for photography as other tour boats are enclosed. Depending on wind strength there may be a little bit of spray but this is only when we are moving from place to place and we provide you with waterproof bags for your camera gear. Hope this helps.

we booked ours the day of the trip and didnt have an issue...but by the time of our trip it was fully booked and no spaces for casual turn up..all depends on when you are travelling and if in peak season or not...if a t a weekend then i would pre-book. ther e are lots of trips in the day so you have options of when to do it, and we missed our time and were able to make the next one .

Thank you. We will probably see you in 2019!

Hi Prateek Go to the Hahei Explorer Website to book the trip thanks
