This includes humpback whale tours in Tonga and Exmouth, Diving in Canada and other places in New Zealand.Mark is a qualified skipper, with many years of experience and has completed his marine biology degree in the Bay Of Plenty. Make sure to ask him all your tricky questions.Hayley is the office manager in the booking office and a guide on the boat over the summer. She has completed several marine tourism and safety courses in Australia.Their love for the area and passion for the ocean is what bought them to live in Whitianga and they thoroughly enjoy taking people out to experience some of the best coastline in the world! They truly believe the Glass Bottom Boat is the number 1 Whitianga boat tour and is the only way to explore Cathedral Cove and the marine reserve, as you get to explore what lies above and below the surface.
