About this activity

Mercury Star is a fabulous new catamaran that is perfect for environmentally conscious travelers who also want to enjoy a comfortable and stable boating experience. This impressive vessel is powered by two low-emission outboards, which means that it is gentle on the planet while also offering a smooth journey, and with plenty of power to zoom across the waves. The efficient hull shape of the catamaran not only helps reduce emissions, but it also ensures that you will have a smooth and comfortable ride.Brand new ecofriendly catamaran

Itinerary

Our journey to the breathtaking Cathedral Cove and the surrounding marine reserve showcases the region’s stunning volcanic landscapes and diverse marine life with snorkeling and swimming opportunities. Although Cathedral Cove is one of the highlights of this tour, there is more dramatic scenery to discover on the Pacific coastline, including Orua Sea Cave, Champagne Rocks, isolated islands, and pristine sandy beaches. Throughout the journey, our professional and friendly guide and skipper will showcase their in-depth knowledge of the natural wonders and rich history of the land, providing commentary over our built-in speaker system. Your comfort is our priority, with tea and coffee available, a shower, and a toilet on board for your convenience. Our experienced staff will ensure your safety and hope to provide you with an unforgettable experience when discovering our magical coastline with us.
