Our experienced crew will present you to this part of the coast which offers many surprises beyond the iconic Whenuakura (Donut) Island and its Wildlife Sanctuary. Because of its volcanic formation this coast hides incredible rock formations, surrounded by fauna and flora authentic of the Coromandel. Some of the spots reserve hidden places such as Waimama bay and surroundings.

This experience only takes 4 passengers, making it a very personal experience to all ages and levels.
