Fantastic afternoon trip. We saw lots of sea birds but sadly no penguins or dolphins (just the luck of the draw!) But otherwise a great trip with informative Captain and tour guide. We also had a glass of local wine on the return trip!

We really enjoyed the trip, Will provided lots of information about birds and seals life. We walked around motuara island and it was very picturesque. At the way back we could relax with a glass of Marlborough Pinot gris :) in general it was very nice and enjoyable trip, highly recommended 😄
