Join us today for a fun and exhilarating cruise that explores one of the most breathtaking stretches of coast in New Zealand! Coromandel boat tours are an unforgettable experience.

The team at Ocean Leopard Tours is dedicated to giving you the best possible experience with your safety and comfort being the number one priority.

Our ‘state of the art’ purpose built tour boat was built with the express requirement to ensure passenger comfort, maximum visibility and weather protection. The Ocean Leopard’s superior design and spacious layout makes us the best choice to explore the dramatic volcanic coast of Mercury Bay, located on the Coromandel Peninsula!

On your Whitianga boat tour you can expect 100% pure natural beauty. We visit the Mercury Bay’s top beaches including Lonely Bay and the stunning Shakespeare Cliff, Cooks Beach, Hahei, Hot Water Beach and of course the spectacular Cathedral Cove.

We get up close and personal with towering pinnacles like Champagne Rock, giant blowholes and sea caves, including the exciting, Orua Sea Cave that we enter when sea conditions are right!
