    Experience Hahei's only dedicated snorkel boat tour to Cathedral Cove and the Te Whanganui-o-Hei Marine Reserve. Just a 5-minute boat ride from Hahei Beach, you'll reach spectacular snorkelling sites that can't be accessed from shore.

    Established in 1992, Cathedral Cove Dive & Snorkel is the Coromandel's longest-running PADI Dive Centre. Our qualified PADI Instructor skippers use their local knowledge to choose the best snorkelling locations each day, giving you the best possible experience in changing sea conditions.

    Travel via the iconic Cathedral Cove before exploring crystal-clear waters, volcanic reefs, colourful underwater plateaus and kelp forests teeming with marine life. Keep an eye out for large schools of snapper, blue maomao, stingrays, eagle rays, colourful reef fish and, if you're lucky, crayfish.

    Whether you're an experienced snorkeller, a first-timer or even a non-swimmer, we make it easy to enjoy the water. We provide warm full-length wetsuits, premium snorkelling equipment, prescription masks and flotation aids, so everyone can snorkel with confidence.
