Fascinating, fun & informative 6hr trip in tbe care of Kelsey & Mark !! Got a real insight to life on the Sounds from their commentary and visits to an off grid farm, isolated testy and family at their farm and garden.

Kelsey and Mark were fabulous hosts. They were so knowledgeable and we had so much fun on Posties day off. Lots of fun and interesting stops. We all just had so much fun and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Beautiful surroundings and nice areas where a few people live. The boat tour it self is crowded with more then 50 people on board and you don't get to speak to local people at all (as the brochure mentioned). The boat rushes from one pier to another where the mail was handed over at the pier, and the booat rushes off again.

The expert and humerous commentary, beautiful landscape, comfortable cruise boat, mussell farms, beach lunch stop, interesting mail delivery stops - excellent value for money at $140 each for around 7 hours entertainment. At a very small cost, the cruise could have provided biscuits with the hot drinks

It was a great trip. We were lucky to get a couple of extra stops. It was raining when we left Havelock but the afternoon was great, Shop around for prices.

Fabulous day in the sun to enjoy Pelorous Sounds. There were lots of stop offs to drop off mail and groceries so that was nice to see the locals. The lunch stop off was at the very nice Te Rawa Lodge. A great spot for a glass of refreshment with your lunch. The Captain and Captain's mate did a great job. We enjoyed the very 'kiwi' commentary - great stuff.

We had perfect weather for our Sunday cruise, and some great kiwi banter from our crew, amongst facts about life out in the sounds. Stopped by a few bays to drop off some supplies. Highlight was probably stopping for (bring your own lunch) at the Wilson Bay farm. Interesting talk about life on a remote farm from the Foote's. The Captain's Daughter is a good pub for a drink afterward too.

We have just got back from an wonderful day out. The trip was bloody awesome. We went with our elderly mums. They absolutely loved it. The crew we're outstanding. Had a great time. We would highly recommend it.

A fabulous day exploring the outer area of Pelorous Sound (Friday trip). Our captain, James, kept us informed and hugely entertained with his deep knowledge and background of Pelorous! Super comfortable, fast catamaran boat. Put the is trip in your list.

Enjoyed the whole cruise, from the bush walk, the visit to a local farm, hearing all about mussel and salmon farming. Levon our skipper gave a very informative commentary and his assistant Nicole was more then happy to answer any questions. The whole trip was relaxing and very pleasant. Coffe on board was good too.

Third time we have done various forms of this trip & it was by far the least interesting! The young, male captain was great - he had a real sense of humor. T was the opposite, don't think she spoke to anyone the whole time. The walk was fantastic, very enjoyable but a shame we didn't have time for a quick swim too. The Wilson farm was also interesting but really it wasn't a tour, we saw in their woodlshed then had a picnic. No mail was delivered sadly & the mussel farm tour was just the boat going between the rows. Not happy that there was no lunch stop at Te Rawa as advertised!! We had no food with us so were starving by the time we got back to Havelock, not so much fun watching others have a picnic! This was never mentioned once to us. The scenery is beautiful, the commentary was very interesting I just wouldn't recommend the Sunday trip & make sure you take food!!

My wife and I did both a transfer to one of the lodges in the sounds the mail tour out to Port Ligar. Fascinating experience, the crew really made it worthwhile in the description of the different residents what they did and how long they've been there with quite a bit of comedy thrown in. Everyone was so helpful as we had a 5m long double kayak.

We went on the Friday mail boat run to the outer bays. The boat is easy to move around, covered inside and outer top deck. You can go out on the front when approaching the lodges for mail delivery. We were greeted by dogs, goats, sheep and pigs. Along the route we saw dolphins, took a short bush walk to a lookout and saw some shearers working hard. Left at 10am and returned at 4.30pm. A great trip I would highly recommend and hope to do again.

Under clear blue skies 29c ,and a full tide we set off on the Wednesday route with Captain J and the helm with crew lady T . Right from the booking in the cheerful nature began!. Capt J outlined the consequences of loading yr hat as we set sail with a good chuckle 🤣. As we went from inlet wharf to wharf ‘meeting’ many soles who have chosen their lives in the remote wildness of the Sounds. Not only did we encounter Dusky Dolphins and penguins there were , according to Captain J many types of Shags!🤭 An excellent day out, Well done Mail Boat crew!

Thanks to the staff who made this trip an excellent day out. We really enjoyed the stop off at Wilsons Bay Farm. Only comment I would make is make sure you pack yourself a good lunch.
