Ruined Day

2.00Be wary. Was advised day prior to event that our 16:00 trip was cancelled (not enough people). Agrees to the 1:25 pm. Then went to meet point, checked Viator and told cancelled because too windy. Looked sunny and calm to us. Granted, we were probably going to open water. But left us with no other options and prettt much a bust of the day.
Best small group tour!...

5.00Best small group tour! Rachel was very informative & had binoculars for all. Wildlife tours aren’t guaranteed to see wildlife but we were lucky- saw multiple albatross, fur seals, a small blue penguin, it was wonderful!
Not upto our expectations

3.00The host was good in communicating through emails. But the trip did not meet our expectations. We only saw couple of fur seals/ lions
Good tour for the family and on the harbor

5.00We saw a lot of critters: seals, lots of albatross and other birds. Rachel is quick & knows a lot. Enjoyed the tour. Fun to get out on the harbor.
Smaller is Better

5.00This is a smaller lower boat with fewer people than many of the tour boats so when the albatrosses and giant petrels swam near us they were barely six feet away. Rachel is very knowledgeable and at the end gives out a pictorial checklist of what we saw, which I loved. Highly recommended.
Rachel was the best

4.00Friendly and informed tour guide, a great opportunity for bird watchers to add more species to their list.
A great wildlife experience with Rachel

5.00This small group tour took 8 people out in the bay seeking wildlife. Rachel, our guide, was amazing. She conducted the tour alone - docking & driving the boat and narrating as we went. She had a keen eye to spot birds, seals and albatross. She was extremely knowledgeable sharing mating, nesting and other habits of the animals we saw. I highly recommend this tour!
Friendly and knowledgeable skipper and a stunning location

5.00Very much enjoyed this tour, especially loved watching the seals playing in the ocean and seeing the albatross soaring over the heads.
Wonderful tour

5.00Fantastic tour! Rachel was a great guide with really interesting commentary covering not only wildlife but also the industry and history of the area. We were lucky enough to see 3 albatross up close (rare apparently) plus seals, a sea lion and loads of other birds. The scenery was stunning too so even without the wildlife it stillwould have been amazing.
Great experience on board

5.00Great tour. A friendly sole trader who was very knowledgeable Very disappointed in the Viator experience. I accessed the site from NZ and I didn’t realise until afternoon booked that prices are in USD not NZD. it made a huge difference to the price and was a LOT more expensive than booking direct 5 stars to the tour 2 to Viator
