Reviews
"Booked the 1hr tour as a last minute to-do on an otherwise empty Saturday, and im so glad i did! It was fun, informative, and the woman working at the ticket hut was so incredibly friendly and kind. My only suggestion is if you plan on taking the public 18 bus out, make sure you check the return schedule! I got stuck for a few hours after my tour, but no complaints here! I took a nap in the dunes of a nearby beach. Overall, an absolute dont miss experience at a great price"
"Stunning, an loved it. The knowledge of information was major to this boat ride. Excellence standards"
"We did a recent wildlife, penguin, sea lion and albatross tour and really enjoyed the trip and commentary. The guys assisting on deck are quick to point out things of interest & wildlife for everyone & roam the boat ensuring everyone has a good time & spots what they need to. We have our own gear as we are wildlife/ natural history travellers - but the boat provides binocs and spray jackets for those needing them. Well organised, stable boat with a smaller group size. Well done - thanks - highly recommend."
"Had an amazing time and the weather was fantastic! We got to see Albatrosses, fur seals and some other NZ birds, no whales or dolphins sadly but maybe next time. The boat ride itself is an excellent opportunity to see the Dunedin Port entrance from a whole new perspective and to take some amazing photos. Our hosts were informative and certainly knew their 'stuff'. I highly recommend this cruise! I will definitely be doing this again!"
