360 Discovery

360 Discovery was formerly known as Kawau Kat Cruises and has been operating in the Hauraki Gulf since the early 1990s. Its boats include Kawau Kat I, Kawau Kat II and Kawau Kat III and Kawau Kat V. While the mainstay route for its fleet of catamaran ferries is between Auckland and Gulf Harbour, it also runs a service to Coromandel Harbour, which stops en route at Orapiu Wharf. The company also offers tours to other gulf islands, including Tiritiri Matangi Island and Motuihe Island. 360 Discovery is the operating entity of Kiwi Kat Ltd
