What you can expect

Far from your average boat tour, this white-knuckle jet boat ride to Cathedral Cove will see you reach speeds of up to 80 km/h and that's when you're not experiencing high-speed drifting, heart-pumping power slides and full 360-degree spins. Departing from Whitianga Wharf, the activity hub of the Coromandel, you will be provided with a life jacket and a full safety briefing before you set off on the fastest journey to Cathedral Cove you will ever experience. But it's not all about speed and exhilaration.

Along the way, your professional jet boat driver will provide local history and witty commentary to keep you informed and entertained. For a unique jet boat ride that offers you a solid rush of adrenaline whilst providing spectacular views of the volcanic coastline, this is a thrill ride like no other. The Cathedral Cove jet boat ride is approximately 45 minutes and is exclusively limited to 10 guests per ride. Tours are available from October to April only.
