Fantastic day out with beautiful scenery to view on the Sounds. Captain took particular attention looking for the wildlife. We saw fur seals, penguins and king cormorants. Spending an hour on the island was great. Will our guide had a wealth of knowledge of the area as we cruised and of the wildlife on the island. A well worthwhile trip.

As a wildlife biologist, I chose this because I was looking for a real wildlife tour run by knowledgable people and not something just set up to run tourists around. This is the real deal - a small locally owned company with very environmentally minded folks with a lot of wildlife experience. While one can never plan on wildlife sightings in the wild, these folks know their stuff and know where to look. I saw more endangered species in 4 hours then I have seen in my entire time in new zealand. Knowledgeable and very ethical in their wildlife treatment, I was totally enchanted. You can't do better than Nicki and Paul

We saw lots of birds (we're amateur birders). The place they call "the bird bath" is a great place to sit quietly and watch the birds come to bathe and drink after the rest of the group hikes up the hill for the view. If you hike, know the pace is swift so unless you're in great shape it will be hard to keep up. You're only on the island for one hour.

A worthwhile visit on quite a wet and windy day. The tour guide Alice was very informative and made every effort to give us a good trip despite the weather as did the driver of the motor boat. We didn't see any dolphins but we had a good view of a variety of sea birds and fur seals.
