Our group of seven, old, young and inbetween all loved our trip out into the sounds. We saw penguins, seals and dolphins and the guide and captain went out of their way to ensure we got the best experience. They were friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Simply a MUST DO if you are in the area.

We had a great trip out to the Island with friendly and experienced staff. We saw some beautiful birds and were lucky enough to see three Hector’s dolphins on the way back. Very enjoyable afternoon.

This was one of the best things I have done. We had two young children and the staff and guides went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. They were knowledgeable on all the wildlife and local area, the views and scenery aren’t found anywhere else and the wildlife was everywhere. If you ever have a chance to do this cruise it would be too good to miss.

The master of the vessel provided a great commentary giving lots of local knowledge. Guests were given the opportunity to deliver the mail bags along the way. Definately a must do while in Picton.

Friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Beautiful views. Comfortable indoor seating with large wide widows but the upstairs outdoor viewing was the place to be. Dolphins, Penguins, weka, just a few of the wildlife spotted, feeding the fish a delightful bonus.

Our driver / guide was local and his knowledge and passion for the area was incredible. Super informative went out of his way to show us some dolphins. The check in girls were efficient everything was easy and was a great day out on the water. Make sure you take a jacket. Even though it was a glorious day did get chilly sitting up top

More than just a mail run! Thoroughly enjoyed afternoon in the Sounds. Our captain / tour guide / mail man Jason was great! Had such good knowledge of the area. Highlights were seeing the King Shags, Dolphins, Seals at the salmon farm and feeding the blue cod and spottys. A Highly recommend!

A really interesting family friendly cruise delivering in all respects. Our boys joined the super informative Jason up front helping with the mail drop offs, getting close encounters with the local dogs on the jetty’s, feeding blue cod, seals and a quick visit past the salmon farm. Jason’s knowledge of the area was exceptional. Recommend to all

Very happy with this purchase. Great cruise through the sounds, with friendly and informative guide Phil. Walk from ships cove to furneaux was fantastic, nice gentle grade the entire way through. Track is mostly in forest but great views here and there. Got to picnic with some weka birds. Says 5.5hrs walking but we were a bit quicker, had time to grab a beer and some snacks at the idyllic furneaux lodge at the end. Would 100% recommend!

Made this tour for the third time and it was just an amazing day out, highly recommended!

This exceeded our expectations. On top of the stunning views from Furneaux to Punga Cove, Jason was an amazing guide who gave a scientific commentary. We saw dusky dolphins and he was a pro with them. As tangata whenua, he had exceptional local, first-hand knowledge about the history and environmentalism. We ended our walk by jumping off the wharf at Punga Cove and seeing more dolphins on the way home!

A lovely relaxing boat ride that takes you to all the nooks and crannies in the Sounds with some interesting stories about the locals. Great way to get out on the water if you don't have a boat.

We had a very good knowledgeable skipper and tour guide (name started with a S, cannot remember Steven or Stuart). Saw dolphins on the way and various birds. The track is a very pleasant walk. All the staff of the cruise company were very nice.

Great trip, lovely scenery. Sounds are beautiful

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, Ryan's mail run commentary gave a great insight to life in the Sounds for the families that have no road access. Getting alongside a pod of dolphins was the icing on the cake. A wee mishap at one pier delayed the trip slightly but was handled well and professionally. Highly recommended.
