Please collect your tickets from our booking office at 65 Beach Road (Waterfront), Akaroa, 30 minutes before departure. Boarding is 15 minutes prior to departure at the main Akaroa wharf.

We offer an exclusive and intimate 2-hour harbour nature cruise on our luxurious catamaran. We accommodate a small number of guests so you are able to enjoy a more personal cruise experience around the spectacular seascape including sea caves, high cliffs and volcanic rock formations.

A cruise around Akaroa Harbour is the perfect way to view the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world, the Hector’s dolphin, along with fascinating birdlife, New Zealand fur seals and white-flippered penguins. 

We are 100% locally owned and operated. Our history in the area dates back to 1838, and as your hosts, we will provide you with a personal insight into the region.

A complimentary glass of award-winning wine, beer, low or non-alcoholic option, as well as fresh home baking, are also included.

From our check-in team to our skippers and onboard guides, you’ll be greeted with smiles every step of the way. An integral part of the team is our expert dolphin spotting dogs. Equipped with dog life-vests and a keen ear, they’ll help make your dolphin encounter an unforgettable experience.
