5.00We had an excellent day on Akaroa Harbour. Everything was perfect. The staff were entertaining, funny and knowledgeable and we saw lots of dolphins, seals and even penguins. The boat wasn't too crowded so we had lots of opportunity to see over the side and space to move around.

5.00Our experience on these cruises were incredible. Me and my partner chose to swim with dolphins and looked at many websites but this one stuck out. Our boat journey was excellent with grace and a man driving the boat. Grace was a lovely girl who kept us in the loop and I can’t remember the man’s name may of been Chris he was also amazing. The actual swimming was also the best thing we’ve ever done, we never once felt nervous, on edge or uncomfortable just free, fun and relaxed. The dolphins were super cute and friendly and the professional pictures were perfect. Highly recommend
Friendly crew; good...

4.00Very enjoyable and informative. We saw the Hector’s dolphin, fur seals and little penguin. The commentary was first class and funny by Thomas and thanks to Grace and Fleur. Highly recommended. I suffer from sea-sickness but managed a two hour cruise without difficulty but with the help of sea-sickness pills.
