Amazing Experience!

What an absolutely amazing experience! I cannot recommend Mitre Peak cruises enough. Being a smaller, more intimate boat was just what we wanted- we weren't overcrowded or fighting for views and the free tea, coffee and hot chocolate was very welcomed. The crew were great, friendly and knowledgeable, and the captain was entertaining (even if a little hard to hear at times). We had the most amazing experience, sighting albatross and even dolphins surfing our wake! Hundreds of waterfalls due to the rain- absolutely spectacular. I highly recommend Mitre Peak.

Amazing

Splendid scenery, a moment out of time. An attentive team that allowed us to observe the Hector dolphins for several minutes, unlike the other boats. The boat is also smaller than the others, making it easier to see and creating a warmer, more convivial atmosphere. Hot drinks available on board. We'll be back.
