Amazing Cruise
We had a wonderful time, the Crew was friendly, very knowledgeable and keen to spot lots of wildlife. We liked that the boat wasnt too big. We saw Royal Albatross, Chatham Albatross, Little Blue Penguins, NZ Fur Seals, Cormorans and more! Highly recommend this Cruise!!

Was okay
Didn't see much...couldn't see the 2 bits of fluff on the cliffs (supposed to be baby albatross), saw a couple of sea lions, and a small albatross flying in the distance. Maybe not a great time of the year? And everything was via binoculars. We instead treated it as an hour out on the water. Did not really meet expectations.

Not long enough
The trip was lovely but definitely not long enough or adventurous enough. I thought we'd see more sealife - dolphins, seals etc. The captain was great with telling us about the birds

Great value for money
Getting these tickets so cheap through bookme made this experience even more value for money! Great captain whonwas super knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us close to wildlife without disturbing any. We saw plenty of Albatros as well as other sea birds, fur seals, sea lions, penguins and even dolphins! Great experience and our 1 year old loved it
