At the core, we’re a family business with our management team being 6th & 7th generation Banks Peninsula locals. Alongside our family members, we have a passionate team who are committed to you having a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We keep our passenger groups small so that you have more room to move around the boat, and enjoy your cruise without overcrowding or missing dolphin sightings due to a shortage of viewing space. Our boat has a low-lying profile which means you get closer to the wildlife!
When you board our boat you’ll be offered a complimentary drink. Choose from beer, award-winning local wine or non-alcoholic options. You’ll also enjoy our famous home-baked treats made from our family recipe and served to you by our delightful onboard crew.
We are committed to the conservation of our harbour's environment and wildlife. After all, it’s the centre point of our business.
*Check-in is 30 minutes prior to the departure, with boarding 15 minutes beforehand.

Cần Quan Tâm
As a holder of a New Zealand Department of Conservation Marine Mammal Viewing Permit, we are legally authorized to take guests on dolphin and seal viewing tours. We are proud to be one of only two year-round operators in Akaroa Harbour with this permit, so we encourage you to choose responsibly. Enjoy a 2-hour nature cruise on our luxury catamaran in Akaroa Harbour, a hotspot for Hector's dolphins, White-flippered penguins, and New Zealand fur seals. While we can't guarantee sightings as the animals are wild, we have a high success rate. If you don't see dolphins, cruise with us again for free. Our friendly check-in team, skippers, onboard guides, and expert dolphin-spotting dogs equipped with life-vests will ensure an unforgettable experience. As a conservation measure, we do not swim with the dolphins. To redeem a voucher, promotion code, or Top10 membership card, please contact us directly via phone or email. We cannot offer discounts after a booking has been made online. Please note, check-in is no later than 30 minutes prior to the departure, with boarding 15 minutes beforehand.

5.00We were very lucky to have such a beautiful clear sunny day. Not only did we see dolphins and other animals, we saw the dolphins jumping out of the water which we were told is rare. It was a very special experience made wonderful with knowledgeable and friendly hosts on a small boat.
Best family day out!

5.00Had a great experience on this Harbour cruise. All of the staff were very friendly & accommodating. The Captain was very knowledgeable of the whole area & also kept you informed of what he was doing with the boat when we went out passed the Heads. We saw all the wildlife there was to see in the area, Penguins, Dolphins & Seals. Would highly recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to take a look around the Akaroa harbour.

5.00Matt, the skipper, was great. He gave a very informative history of Akaroa, geography and wildlife. Saw White Flippered Penguins, seal pups, various birds too. No dolphins, so I returned the next day to do it again. Still no luck, but what a day. It got a bit wobbly as we neared the entrance to the harbour, and Matt and Hannah and Pia, were constantly checking on the passengers wellbeing. Recommended.
Worthwhile excursion

5.00The staff (captain/tour guide and assistant) were great-friendly, helpful and informative. We saw dolphins, seals, and an albatross, as well as geologic and historic features of the coast. The boat was clean and comfortable. I would recommend seasick medicine before my next trip, but I'd definitely go out again.
Amazing Akaroa Experience

5.00A wonderful experience. Absolutely thrilled to see the world’s smallest dolphins!! We saw several, close to the boat, and it was so special. The landscape, birds, seals, geography, history, all simply perfect. Choice of tea, coffee, wine, fruit juice on the house was a perfect touch. Biscuit too!! I got the most amazing video of the dolphins! (No still shots this time!)
Great experience!

4.00Nice boat and very friendly boat staff, including the dog. I appreciate they care about the dolphins and don’t offer swimming. We learned a bit about the Maori history although sometimes it was very hard to hear when outside. Overall great experience and I would recommend.
