A must do!
We had a phenomenal cruise. The dolphins were active multiple times during our trip. It didn't feel rushed. There were penguins, hector's dolphins, seals with the cutest seal pups, amazing coastal scenery and knowledgeable guides. My husband, two boys and myself definitely think it's the highlight of our Akaroa trip. Thank you!

Wonderful experience! Our guides were knowledgeable and provided a great experience. We were able to see dolphins, a variety of sea birds, a seal colony and even a whale
