jo-anna said... We had an amazing experience with Coast Up Close! Tony and Mafi were incredible hosts — warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Akaroa and its wildlife. We saw dolphins, seals, and beautiful coastal scenery, all while learning fascinating history about the area. A special moment for us was when Tony let our daughter steer the boat — you could just see how thrilled she was. He made her day! Coast Up Close exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re visiting Akaroa and want a genuine, heartfelt, and knowledgeable wildlife cruise, we can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Tony and Mafi, for an incredible adventure and beautiful memories.
