Join us on an unforgettable sailing adventure, getting up close with Akaroa’s wildlife, including the Hector Dolphin with real sailing on the Pacific Ocean!
Thank you Joanne! We aim to provide the memory of a lifetime, and it seems we succeeded!
Very enjoyable experience. Crew are easygoing and friendly. Saw the dolphins several times. Well worth it. Very relaxing return journey with the sails billowing.
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.
Absolutely loved it, great vessel, lots of wildlife, smooth sailing. Dolphins playing under the boat.
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.
