The boat was really well appointed and the crew were all very helpful and positive. Chelsea was the narrator and was super informative and interesting. The captain worked hard to find a whale and positioned the boat really well for a great experience amongst a big pod of dusky dolphins.
This was AWESOME. Our guide was Charlie. She was fun and personable and knew everything about the water and the wildlife. We saw dolphins and a little blue penguin and fur seals and a lot of other birds.
We also really appreciated the company’s attention to safety. We were booked for an afternoon tour. They got in touch the day before to ask if we could switch to the 8:30 AM tour because the weather forecast looked like winds would be very strong in the afternoon. We went at 8:30 and had perfect conditions - and when we saw the surf and wind after lunch, we were very grateful not to be battling that. The gear was top-notch and kept in good shape. You really can’t go wrong with this company.
Our guides were professional and friendly. The equipment was in great shape. We were treated to an amazing evening paddling around looking at dusky dolphins playing around us, seals napping nearby, and an albatross soaring overhead. We had a great time!
We did this as a day trip from Christchurch. It was a long day and the whale viewing in that lasts about 10 minutes. However our driver Pete was great and so informative so made the drive easy. Also Billy on the boat was just a natural. We had to wait about an hour and a half for ‘our’ whale to surface but he kept us amused the whole time and again was hugely informative. We had a beautiful day but it was still very chilly hanging about on the deck so take layers and something water proof in case of splashes. We also visited a winery on the way back which was really good and a perfect end to the day. The service was door to door and we were a lovely size group of 7 total ( many more on the boat obviously). All in all we had an enjoyable day, met some great people and would recommend.
Awesome time with our guide Zoe. Saw dolphins, seals, fish churning and bird wild life. Equipment excellent. We felt safe and well looked after. Not hurried. An enjoyable morning. Thanks Zoe.
