海豚蓝鲸我们都看到了

整个旅程很棒,船很稳,船长应该经验很丰富的,对海域很熟悉,停船的地方看到很多海豚,还看到蓝鲸,太棒了!据说看到鲸鱼的概率不是很高,我想我们是幸运的,起码船长知道哪块海域是蓝鲸常出现的。

Best day on the water

Absolutely loved this experience. Great crew, comfortable boats and well timed. We enjoyed the option of Lunch at Man'o'War and didnt regret it. Definitely recommend.

Nothing but a ferry

We were very disappointed with this cruise, yes we did see 6 dolphins playing but it was felt that as soon as we seen them the cruise was over and we were off to collect yet more people from yet another island even though the captain said he was looking for more dolphins no mention of whales at all. If we wanted to see the scenery which was lovely we wouldn't have paid a for a cruise, we expected to send some time looking for dolphins and whales as this was a 4.5 hour cruise we expected to spend at least 1.5 hours searching We were not the only passengers that felt this way, we would not recommend this trip again

Dont book - always canceled without any notice

If you want to waste your time and money then go ahead and book this crusie. My booking was cancelled twice without any notice. I had called their office a day earlier to reconfirm if cruise is still on and was informed that cruise will definitely operate. Had booked uber and paid more then $50 to reach the pier only to be told on desk that trip is canceled. I asked the lady at the counter why werent we informed and she advised they in process of contacting customers. This lady is telling me at 08.45 am that they in process to inform customers that trip is canceled. If customers are to inform 24hrs prior fr cancellation why cant cmpany do the same. Had taken day off and wasted money on uber , asked if the cmpny can atleast refund 1 way uber on which cmpny advised they are not obliged as per fine writings on their conditions. Never going to trust this cruise and would highly recommend anyone reading this to never book as if number if traveooers are low 9/10 the cruise will b cancelled and youll be told excuses fr bad weather or swells at sea, while other cruise are running fine. If once cruise is canceled I'd understand but when it happens twice within a week theres something fishy . Just avoid this cruise unless you want to waste your time and money. Its just not worth it. Lady at the counter told me to send email together with uber cost and it shall be refunded but it never happened. Disgrace to New Zealanders and tourists.
