Spectacular

So spoilt in our own backyard! Had the most incredible few hours in one of the most beautiful locations in NZ. Our skipper was so knowledgeable with the friendliest personality. He kept us well informed throughout the cruise without encroaching on the serene nature of the journey. Don’t take long to spot the infamous Hectors dolphins who played around the boat for much longer than anticipated. Then off to see some seals & little blue penguins on our way back. Felt so lucky to have experienced the ‘small 3’! Highly recommend this cruise

Always a Pleasure

Each time I've been to NZ, I've taken this tour with whatever guests I have with me and it never disappoints. We saw multiple pods of Hector's dolphins, fur seals and albatross. The crew were polite and informative. Experience was great!

Must do in Akaroa!!!

Dit was een zalige uitstap! Vriendelijk personeel, goeie kapitein met perfecte hoeveelheid uitleg, we zagen de zeldzame Hector dolfijnen, zeeleeuwen en Pinguïns! Gratis koffie, thee en water doorheen de hele activiteit. Je ziet mooie uitzichten en krijgt wat info over de historiën van Akaroa. Ik vind het top!
