Our exciting small group boat tour will give you an intimate experience of the amazing scenery and wildlife of the outer Akaroa Harbour - one of New Zealand’s iconic locations.

The cruise departs the historic Akaroa township and explores the many bays before focusing on the magnificent cliffs and abundant wildlife of the outer harbour and Pacific coastline.

Our Stabicraft vessel is fast and comfortable so we can explore more of the unique volcanic peninsula’s stunning land and seascapes.
