We booked an afternoon cruise with coast up close and it was such a wonderful and relaxing way to see the harbor. We got lucky and had a pod of dolphins swimming right next to our boat and got to see seals along the way. It’s an incredibly beautiful harbor and the team at coast up close was fantastic. Would recommend if in the area

Great value for money. Lasted 2.75 hours. We seen sea birds, seals, dolphins on multiple occasions. We followed coastline , weaving in and out to explore various places. Grest commentary and fantastic enthudiasm by our co- captains. Highly revommend. Only 5 passengers so very relaxing.

One of the best things we did on our trip to New Zealand. Tony is a terrific guide, knowledgable, personable and a great story teller. Make sure you don’t miss this treat on your visit to Akaroa. Dolphins, seals, penguins, bird colonies, caves, tunnels. What more did we need? Nothing. Thanks Tony. These memories will last a lifetime.

Tony and Moffie are incredible. They knew exactly where to go and how best to maneuver their boat to get up close and personal to the seals, cliffs, caves, and dolphins. They respect the dolphins and don’t chase them, but the dolphins flocked to their boat in part because they slow down but don’t stop, so dolphins are pushed by their boat leading to amazing videos of the dolphins swimming right beneath you. If you want a smaller boat with a more intimate experience with a knowledgeable crew, then book this adventure. You will thank me for it.
