An absolutely brilliant afternoon, one of the main highlights of our trip to New Zealand. Will was fabulous, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, as was Dan the skipper on the day. We saw so many different species, including the king shag, dusky dolphins, saddleback birds and Australasian gannets. Tea and biscuits on the return trip, followed by a glass of wine to celebrate our sightings was a bonus. Keep up the good work, you’re all doing a great job. Thank you.

We booked the trip for 13:30pm and after it we received a message to move it for 8:00am, when we were not in Picton. As the morning we were going to do the trip we still didn’t know if it will be going, we went to the shop around 11am, there was no one. We went to the Isite, and they tried to call them as the only available contact was a phone number, but no body answered. Finally around 12 pm they asked whether we could change for next day and we had to ask for the refund. The girl on the shop was very nice and apologised, on the other hand the man over them was quite not nice and informed us that he would not move just a boat because of us and that we had to get used to it as anybody can cancel the tour 30min before departure. The thing is that other companies didn’t and fortunately we could do a cruise with cougar line, who didn’t let us down. It is a pity as it seemed to be a good trip but not even warning us and not letting us know in advance that our trip was cancelled is not very nice from them.
