We had a wonderful cruise. Dan and Bella did a fantastic job as the skipper and guide. With their help we were able to see a blue penguin floating in the water. Then we saw Dusky Dolphins jumping and lots of sea birds. We saw gulls, shags, including the king shag, south island saddled and Robin, a yellow crowns parakeet, a bellbird, and then some fur seals. Loved it all!

This was a wonderful tour. Bella and Dan were fantastic a the slipper and guide. We saw a lot of wildlife. Right off we saw a blue penguin floating in the water, then we saw Dusky Dolphins jumping and tons of birds. We were able to see hills, shags, including the king shag, south island robin, a saddleback, a bellbird, and a yellow crowned parakeet. At the end we saw fur seals.

Cruise was great! I went on a solo trip and it didn't disappoint. Plus, the weather was so lovely, which made the cruise even more enjoyable.

Great tour, but it should be noted that this is more of a dolphin safari. You travel for 1.5 hours through the sound, then rush over to an island where there is really only one viewpoint, and then travel back again for another 1.5 hours. There were too many people on board for our liking.

Not what we expected, if you take the ferry from Wellington you're getting a better tour and they give pretty much the same tour. We thought we were going to tour the Marlborough sounds like seeing different areas you wouldn't see taking the ferry. We did see some dolphins and birds. The island they take you to is a waste of valuable time. You climb to the top and see the same thing you did coming in on the ferry just a different angle. The crew were amazing and did a wonderful job especially Rob pine.

Booked the cruise thru tripadvisor / viator 3/7/25 . Eko tours were not aware of our booking for the 21/7/25 at 8:00am therefore they did not advise us when the cruise was cancelled due to lack of bookings , we rocked up nobody there . Check with Eko the night before even if you have a booking confirmation through viator
