We absolutely loved our visit. It was wet day and on our way we were thinking the weather would spoil the experience. However, it was still well worth the visit. I would go again.

We came here on a monday morning. We had such a great weather but it was a bit windy. The staff were friendly and helpful with assisting us to get close to the alpacas so we can cuddle them. The view was breathtaking as you can see the entire akaroa harbour from the farm. We enjoyed every minute of the experience.

A wonderful experience for young and old! I the tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, relaxed and in tune with the animals it was amazing that he knew every Alpacas name. He was attentive and patient with the kids and allowed them to be themselves and feed them. All questions answered thoroughly and we left feeling we had leant some valuable facts about Alpacas.

Best memory from South island

Best experience ever. Amazing scenery and wonderful time with cute animals. It was lifetime experience and thanks to the tour guide(forgot her name) who made my day. She explained everything in detail and helped us get along with alpacas and it was really good time. I bought a scarf to remember the tour and it was so warm. I had to order another one from the online shop. Wish I have another chance to visit again

Good service!

The driver was courteous, informative and a good driver. There was a passenger who missed the pickup and we pulled over and waited approximately 15 minutes for this passenger to be brought to the bus. I was surprised that they would do this as everyone on the bus was held up because of one passenger. The driver was very apologetic and tried to make up the lost time. We had a great day and I would recommend this service.

Spectacular Morning!!

What an amazing morning it was! Blue skies and blue water! The first thing we encountered when we left the bay was a mother dolphin and her calf. As we went out of the harbour we came across some noisy seals that came right up to the boat. But what really stood out was the hospitality from the skipper and his local knowledge.

Had a lovely time on this trip, a birthday treat. Very relaxed and informative on the history of the area. Bit disappointing that we only saw 1 dolphin as they are always a treat to see but that's nature, can't be helped. Saw wee penguin and the fur seals. Definitely worth doing, even for us locals.

Great wildlife cruise

I was on a cruise with Kate, Alex and Bri. The girls were great at spotting wildlife, especially the dolphins that everyone is hoping to see! The cruise was a well run and professional experience that takes you around the harbour and the skipper will tell you a bit about the history of different areas of Akaroa as you go past. We stopped by a area known to have some NZ fur seals. The dolphins came to bow ride at the front of our boat. We were also lucky enough to spot a new calf!

I booked this trip at the last minute and so glad we did. Even though it was a cold and somewhat windy day we thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. The scenery is beautiful and we saw lots of Hectors dolphins, and some NZ fur seals. The staff were very informative and friendly,and i would happily do this trip again when next we visit Akaroa.

We did the 11am trip and definitely recommend it. Staff were really friendly and the guide had a great sense of humour. Weather was perfect aswell. Only advice is if you take young children like we did grab a spot for the trip at the beginning, as soon as dolphins were spotted people didn't care if they were pushing our children out the way.

Amazing experience!

Small group of 8 people + 2 hosts. We were lucky to see so many dolphins and swam with them in two different spots. At a point, we were surrounded by 5 (of course they come and go as they please). We even saw a baby dolphin with its mom. We also navigated to other areas and saw seals and birds, plus having a complementary hot beverage and a snack. They were kind enough to accept my request of having some gluten free cookies for me :). It was great, I think the small group made a huge difference, as we had enough time to swim and enjoy without many people around. Only 4 of us decided to swim that day. I totally recommend it. Gracias!

We were both blown away with the harbour cruise. The weather was stunning which makes a difference. The crew commentary was very amusing and informative. We were lucky to see a number of little Hectors, seals and pups and NZ Shags. We would thoroughly recommend the trip . Great value for money too. Thanks Guys!

Absolutely an awesome experience. The weather was perfect and i learnt a lot about the area. We saw a number of Hector dolphins that swam around the boat several times and that certainly made the trip for my grandson. Dont miss it if you are in the area.

Fun on the Harbour

Our guide, Jake, was great. Clear kickstart instructions or refresher info for sea kayak basics. Then straight out on the tour. Jake excelled at explaining the terrain encountered by way of geology, flora and fauna factoids along the way. On the way back we got to get in a pretty good work out with a continuous paddle back to our starting point. Jake then stayed for a bit chatting and giving us tips on lunch spots and after lunch hiking ideas. Thoroughly recommend kayaking with Jake!

The view was absolutely gorgeous, and kayaking was great fun, we got to see different animals and especially a dolphin right in front of our eyes! On top of all that, what a knowledgeable, funny and handsome guy to give us the tour! He even took many photos and sent us through emails (such as the second photo). The only thing I could think of for the company is getting a better camera so people would love the photos even more? (My phone took better photos (1st and 3rd) than the camera.)
