Really satisfying
Before purchasing our tickets, we were not sure what will be experienced , but now I must say It was one of the best tours we ever had. The team was super cool and they did everything despite the rain to find some dolphins, and they did. The Rotoroa Islan was also so nice to visit. All in all, 10/10

Fantastic
My son 2 daughter's and myself had a fantastic day out. The crew members were great. We were given a running commentary about the lives and habitat of the whales, dolphins and garnet that we saw. I would definitely recommend this cruise to my family and friends and whoever else asked me about it.

EXTREMELY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - A SCAM
Would give a negative star if possible. Terrible company that does not that liability on what was promoted. Despite marketing as "Whales", no signs of whales were seen. sighting of marine animals only lasted for a maximum of 30 minutes. majority of the time was spend in the vessel. NO WHALES were spotted. Only common dolphins which you could have seen in the zoo/aquarium. Book at your own risk. Should there be NO ANIMALS, you will not be offered a full refund. YOU WILL ONLY BE GIVEN A VOUCHER TO REBOOK, WHERE YOU WILL SPEND YOUR WHOLE DAY IN THE VESSEL HOPING TO SEE A WHALE.

We didnt see any whales, i think thats something many people have to be clear about that the chance of seeing a whale is very low. But we saw dolphins and penguins. Overall the cruise was good, most parts of information were read out and you could tell that the crew didnt really care about the landscape informations. It kinda felt like a taxi, we were mostly just pciking people up from different islands or drop them off. Only 1 hour of the tour was the actual whale watch safari. Still the scenery was beautiful and so were the dolphins and penguins, but honestly the whale watch tour in kaikoura would have been better
