배타는 시간이 너무 깁니다.

고래를 볼 수 있는 확률이 50%라는게 많은 Risk가 있습니다. 바우처를 제공해주지만, 4시간 30분 동안 배롤 또 타야한다는 것은 매우 힘든 일입니다.

날씨가 안좋아서 취소 되었어요..

날씨가 안좋아서 취소되었지만 고객들의 안전을 먼저 생각해서 연락주시고 취소 결정에 대해 대단하다고 생각됩니다.

최고의 기억중에 하나입니다.

오랜시간 배를 타고 있었던 것은 힘들었습니다. 하지만 크루들이 포기하지 않고 운행해 준 덕분에 고래, 블루샤크, 엄청난 돌고래무리도 보았습니다. 고래는 비록 죽어있었지만 후에 뉴질랜드 뉴스에 실릴 정도로 운이 좋은 사건이었다고 생각합니다.

날씨가 좋지 않았음에도 정말 환상적인 경험이였습니다. 이틀후에 또 다시 예약하고 방문할 예정입니다.

great time had by all

unfortunately we did not see much sealife when we went out but we still had a really good time and appreciated the effort that staff went to to make the event educational and enjoyable. We look forward to using our 'free' tickets in the future and hopefully next time will see more wildlife! Would recommend as a fun activity in Auckland and especially when using bookme to get discounted price.
