Truly fabulous nature cruise, excellent narrative, friendly and engaging. We saw all the wildlife we would have hoped to see: penguins, Dolphins, seals, numerous petrels and other sea birds including 4 species of albatross. For geology nuts its a great cruise as well and you can see why early settlers thought the Banks Peninsula was an island. We had wonderful sunny weather with calm seas allowing us to go further out into the Pacific than usual where we got a real shot of Antarctic wind! Highly recommended.

Great way of seeing Akoroa's several bays. A great amount of wildlife was spotted including the lovely Hector dolphins. The staff were light hearted and had fantastic knowledge of the area. From the bow we had great views of the wildlife. best spot for those adventure seekers

"Fantastic Cruise"
Arrived in Akaroa on the Celebrity Solstice having booked this cruise in Akaroa directly and not on the cruise ship. I paid what I discovered was the actual retail price for the Akaroa Nature Cruise whilst on the ship they were charging more than the retail price and in USD for exactly the same thing, what a rip off! The cruise was fantastic and very informative. Saw Hector Dolphins, Little Blue Penguins and Seals. Highly recommend this tour.
