Tours and Tickets by Akaroa Dolphins
Overview
Spot Akaroa Harbour’s rare Hector’s dolphins on a catamaran wildlife cruise that includes fresh-baked cookies and a drink. The 2-hull catamaran offers more stability and deck space than a single-hull boat, ensuring a comfortable spot as you scan for fur seals, white-flippered penguins, and other wildlife.Trained, dolphin-spotting dogs are on board for the best possible chance of encountering dolphins.

Review of: Akaroa Dolphins 〜 Harbour Nature Cruise
This was a return trip for us having done a similar trip in 1988. The trip is comfortable and very well commentated - you get a really good overview of local history and insight into the town and harbour. We took my elderly parents (80+) and they had a ball. The dolphins were amazing. Highly recommend the trip.…
