Hey! Thanks for finding our page. We’re Hayden and Richie - the guys behind Coromandel Ocean Adventures (COA). We’re both proud locals, growing up in Tairua and spending our life on the water.
We started this business out of our joint love for the ocean, marine life and Coromandel scenery. We wanted others to experience this magic, and started our ‘ocean tiki tours’.
About us:
- The COA difference: When you come on a boat tour with us, expect an experience different to any other provider. We’re seriously proud locals, outdoors lovers and passionate marine life experts, not just a commercial franchise. You can expect to go off the beaten track & have a laugh along the way, with skippers that go over and above.
- Locations: We take you to all of our hidden gems, and other classics like Cathedral Cove.
- Snorkelling: You can swim, snorkel, or just enjoy the view ✌️(free masks provided 🤿)
- Marine life: We get sightings of whales, dolphins, seals, birds, sharks and much more daily. And we’ll tell you all about each one - Hayden even holds a marine biology degree!
- Safety: We’re both experienced & professional watermen, having spent over 10,000 hours on the water. Richie’s a third generation boatman. Your safety is of utmost importance to us. We check the conditions, only going out if it’s safe. We provide life jackets on board, and all required safety gear. So you can relax, sit back, and enjoy the trip!
We absolutely love what we do. And we’d love to share this incredible experience with you.
Tours depart daily, multiple times a day in the summer. Check our website to book instantly - www.coadventures.co.nz/booking
