This was an absolutely fantastic tour especially when we came across the pod of dolphins I didn't know which way to look but nevertheless I managed to take some great photos and the commentary from both Tanya and Andy was very informative. We also managed to see the different varieties of birds and some seals as well. The walk to the top of Motuara Island was worth the effort especially with the bird life and the view once you reached the top and to top it off a nice cup of hot chocolate and cookies on the way so back.
I booked to go swimming with dolphins while in picton and I was lucky enough to achieve this with these tour operators, staff friendly and care hugely about their job and the habitat
Great tour run by knowledgable, friendly staff on a modern, clean boat. 68 NZ dollars for a 2 hour trip. First a 1 hour guided walk around the Kaipupu reserve, where we saw lots of native birds then a trip around the harbour to see more birds, fish and fur seals. Wonderful!
Just returned from an excellent cruise to Motuara Island. Beautiful weather made for a great day out but the dolphins - bottle nose and Hector's - and the bird life made for an exceptional day. Our skipper and our guide were both first class and the hot drinks, biscuits and wine broke up the return journey and brought us back to Picton a very contented and happy group.
Today was a beautiful sunny day which was enhanced by seeing dolphins on both legs of the journey to Motuara Island and NZ birds on the sea and the island. Both our skipper and our guide were highly professional. We arrived back in Picton a very happy party not only for the wildlife we had seen but also for the biscuits hot drinks and wine served on the return journey.
