• Consider another tour provider and do not pay in advance

  I encourage other travelers to book a tour in Dunedin through another tour provider . Our group paid in full in advance. We followed the directions given by the tour operator and we arrived early. We did not see her boat and her instructions were to not call. When we did call were told she had left and would not return to get us and not refund our money. We feel this mishap is entirely the responsibility of the tour operator as the instructions did not get us to the desired location (we are travelers in a foreign country) or offer a description of the boat. For her to deny the refund leaves us bitter toward this business and our travels in New Zealand.

• Rachel knows the Otago Harbour inside out.

  This tour, owned, operated and skippered by Rachel, was an absolute pleasure. Rachel's commentary was to the point and never overly effusive. She was expert at recognising birds both at a distance and on the wing, which is not to say that we didn't see birds and seals close up. If you're going out on the harbour I really recommend this tour.

• best and onle way to see these creatures

  This was an excepional experienmce. We were lucky, soft rain had smoothed the ocean flat. As a rsult of schooling small fishes the albatroses were everywhere, We saw 3 seals , and one blue penguin, I can recommend the informative commentary, the great boat, and the close encouters with these magnificant birds. I have been to the land based albotross viewing and that viewiimg is a joke compared with this cruise.

• Great trip, Rachel is very welcoming and mega boat

  A really enjoyable trip with Rachel on board her lovely boat the Sootymaster. We were lucky with the weather and got to see some great wildlife. We learnt a lot about the area and history. Would highly recommend for a family outing.

  This was an amazing experience! Rachel was such a great captain and so knowledgeable about the area, the ocean, and the wildlife. She made an effort to find all the best wildlife for us. Her boat is very comfortable and she had all items needed (binoculars, etc). Finally, she was very responsive and accommodating to our scheduling needs. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Dunedin.

• Awesome cruise trip
