Covid 19: Cathedral Cove Cruises and Vaccination

Hello and thank you for clicking on Cathedral Cove Cruises.

We would like to confirm that all staff are fully vaccinated for everyone’s protection. We have also reduced our capacity from a possible 14 to 10 (excl. group charters) to allow us to safely seat everyone onboard.

We acknowledge that you will still be in close contact with other passengers, but we are in an open-air environment.

It is difficult to require all customers to be fully vaccinated when children under 12’s are not required to be.

We love taking families with children on our amazing cruise.

Should you wish to do a tour and want to be separated from other traveler’s we do have some flexibility in seating on our boat and there are options for private tours. Please contact us if you have any special requirement for your booking.

Please! If you are showing any signs of illness no matter how mild, for the safety of others, my business and crew do not book a tour.

Thank you for your understanding.

Ken Hindmarsh

Cathedral Cove Cruises has been approved by the New Zealand Department of Conservation to view whales, dolphins or seals if they are encountered during a scenic boat tour.

If whales, dolphins, or seals are seen during a scenic boat tour, Cathedral Cove Cruises adheres to viewing rules to guarantee they always remain safe and are never distressed by our presence.

What You Might See On Your Cruise

Seals – In the winter months we see them lazing about on the rocks and occasionally swimming in the kelp.
Bird life – Sea birds from the majestic Gannet to the wonderful blue penguin.
Marine Life – either via snorkeling yourself and getting up close with the abundant fish life in the marine reserve or using our viewing tube from the side of the boat.
