Relaxing and rewarding

Very enjoyable experience. Crew are easygoing and friendly. Saw the dolphins several times. Well worth it. Very relaxing return journey with the sails billowing.

Awesome experience

We have tried all three operators in Akaroa, and this was our best experience so far. We saw an abundance of dolphins, seals and penguin. The captain shared some really interesting facts about the history of Akaroa and the surroundings. Highly recommend them to anyone thinking of doing a tour.

Great Experience

The skipper and crew made it an awesome day. Well informed captain told us the history of this beautiful place. We were very lucky to experience the little Hector dolphins and the captain made sure to spend a lot of time with them. The Cathedral cave was a magical experience especially when he played very touching music over the loudspeakers.
