John and Ollie were very welcoming and the boat cruise was informative and intimate. We had just entered level 2 (covid) and they were very good with precautions. They also were respectful for the wildlife, land and water. Its not guarantee’d but we saw a whale in the distance, a penguin, albatross and so many dolphins swimming along side our boat!!!!…

We highly recommend the wildlife and scenery cruise with John and Ollie. They operate a small (but very stable and comfortable) boat -- because it accommodates less passengers than the larger boats the experience is more personal and even more enjoyable. John's commentary and Ollie's wildlife spotting are first-rate, and they clearly take great pride in the beauty of the area. This was a great experience and a must-do in Akaroa.…

A two hour cruise on a small very stable boat with John and Ollie. Max of 8 people gave us a personalised tour of the area by water. We saw heaps of dolphins, penguins and birds. Both were very informative and safety conscious. We had a great morning on the water.

I highly recommend the 2 hour nature wildlife cruise at Akaroa. The family run business does an excellent job and also has Air B & B accommodation as well. The boat can take 8 passengers and you can get up very close to the dolphins, seals and birds. I think it was one of the best cruises I have taken. Brilliant. it starts at 9 am or midday so that you see the wildlife at the best times. Highly recommended. Lovely people who run the cruise too.…

Forget the crowds and have the personal touch with these wonderful people who clearly love what they do. We saw heaps of the rare hector's dolphins, seals, penguins, giant stingray and more. Great boat with reassuring safety briefing at the start. John was particularly awesome with his team being enthusiastic and informative too. Thanks for a memorable day!…
