We had a great time on this excursion. The tour operators were friendly and knowledgeable with lots of local stories. We saw penguins, sea lions, dolphins and a lot of birds. Would highly recommended!
Tony and his partner provided about small group ( just 6 of us ) with a very informative interesting tour with many sightings of pods of the small hectors dolphins , flocks of shags and small penguins . It was good to be in a small boat which was able to slow down quickly and navigate close to rock platforms . Tony grew up in the area is a local farmer and fisherman so had heaps of stories to tell . His partner who drove the boat is from Switzerland and very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the local wildlife . Recommend this small group personal tour .
Absolutely wonderful time on our Akaroa Wildlife Cruise! Tony and Mafi we're incredibly knowledgeable of all that we saw, and took special care to ensure our little ones (6 and 3) had a great time as well. Boat is smaller so everyone gets great views! Would highly recommend!
In spite of chilly temps and overcast skies, we were still able to see a good variety of native wildlife. Enjoyed the local stories as well.
The care and dedication to the animals that Tony and partner showed was amazing. Their Experience and knowledge was fantastic and beautiful weather topped off a great afternoon.
