Incroyable
Une expérience incroyable ! Peu de monde sur le bateau, une équipe sympathique et qui nous ont apporté une mine d'informations. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux : des albatros qui volent autour du bateau, des cormorans, un lion de mer, des otaries et leurs bébés, et même des dauphins qui sont venus à notre rencontre ! Merci à l'équipe pour cette expérience inouïe !

Genial
Je conseille cette compagnie, le personnel est bienveillant très sympathique ! Nous pouvons voir pas mal d'espèces d'oiseaux et aussi des phoques, avec un peu de chances des pingouins et des dauphins aussi ! À faire sans hésitation

Magnifique 1 hour Wildlife cruise
Nous avons pu observer de près la faune sauvage et vu voler les Albatros. Des jumelles de bonnes qualité et une documentation en français étaient disponibles pour tous les passagers. Le personnel était très sympathique et malgré notre retard pour le bateau de 10h00, ils ont accepté de déplacer notre navigation à 11h30.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix
Une courte tournée dans cette magnifique région nous a permis de voir 3 espèces d'albatros, 2 espèces de pinnipèdes, 2 espèces de cormorants, des puffins volages en vol de pêche de très près, des petits manchots en surface... Le tout de façon très agréable sur un bateau spacieux quoique plein, et avec l'effort de commentaires en Anglais exprimés très lentement pour que chacun ait une chance de comprendre. Une première après 6 semaines en Nouvelle Zélande. Nous avons fait la croisière de midi. Pour voir voler les albatros il vaut sans doute mieux viser plus tard.
