4.00Friendly & informative. We got to see plenty of Albatrosses and other Pelagic birds and learned about them too. Just want to mention, it was a pretty small boat which was fine for us, but if you are nervous out at sea, you might want to reconsider this particular trip, but the company does have other trips on offer. Kaikoura is a lovely town and worth a visit.
