Description
Akaroa Dolphins offer an exclusive and intimate 2-hour Harbour Nature Cruise on our luxurious catamaran. We accommodate a small number of guests, so you can enjoy a more personal cruise experience around the spectacular seascape including sea caves, high cliffs and volcanic rock formations. Akaroa Harbour is home to the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world, the Hector’s Dolphin. A cruise out on Akaroa Harbour is the perfect way to view these amazing creatures, along with fascinating bird life and other curious and entertaining sea mammals the likes of seals and penguins in their natural habitat ~ and why not do it in style at a very competitive price?
