Thank you! I just passed your lovely review onto George. What a treat seeing the Orca, hopefully you can come back again soon to spend more time with the Hector’s dolphins. Take care.

Outstanding day out on Akaroa Harbour. A complimentary glass of wine on offer as I stepped aboard, superb hospitality, commentary spot-on, comfortable and spacious boat, luckily a clear day. Saw Hector’s dolphins, little blue penguins, seal pups and more.
