Must do...
Great experience... we were able to watch dolphins, orcas and penguins in their natural habitat. The skipper took us really close to those amazing creatures... would definitely recommend

Fantastic Day Trip - A Must Do
We had a fantastic day with Brendan, Helen and Leo. Great knowledge, vesel and weather. Not so lucky with the larger wildlife but great to see NZ's 'Jurassic Park' close up, fur seals, penguins and numerous sea birds. A must do in you are in the area.

Brilliant
We enjoyed our cruise. The timing was just enough, we saw ample dolphins. The cruise itself was smooth sailing, our ‘captain’ was well knowledged, friendly and accomodating. Got to take our own food and drink. Would highly recommend, perfect for all ages and we would definitely consider doing it again Only con would be the toilet room is quite small
