Overview

Join our group tour of Otago Harbour on our latest vessel, "Adagio" Fast, safe, and comfortable, you will see more of our beautiful harbor with its extensive history and abundant wildlife.
Your skipper and guide will give you a commentary along the way, pointing out places of interest and facts about the wildlife you will encounter.
The main attraction, of course, is the albatross colony at Taiaroa Head at the entrance to the harbor. Watch as these magnificent birds glide along the cliff faces and swoop down along the waves, sometimes beside the boat. An experience not to be missed.

1.00The cruise was cancelled at 1300 hours on 26 December by the company representative stating that I was the only person with the booking for the 1430 hours cruise.Fortunately another company " Port to Port" agreed to take me for the 1315 hours cruise.However, I had to pay 132.07 NZD ( payment receipt available). I am wondering why 5530.90 INR paid by me for booking the cruise through Viator has not been reversed until now.Moreover, I should be reimbursed 132.07 NZD the amount I paid to " Port to Port" cruise company due to last minute cancellation of cruise booked through Viator.Besides the uncertainty about whether I will be able to go on the cruise, I was also forced to pay more than the amount I had paid Viator for the same cruise due to last minute accomodation by " Port to Port" for the cruise.Please reimburse 132.07 NZD asap to redeem your reputation in my eyes
Beautiful trip
