The boat was smaller than I thought but the smaller the closer to the wildlife. The skipper Tony, his fellow and a friendly boat dog Scruffy. What a great team! This small-group tour gave us a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.
Tip: You may need to allow enough time to get to Akaroa. Might take time to find parking near the main wharf during the peak season. Better use the public toilet before getting on the boat. Tour duration: about 2.5 hrs.

We took a trip with Tony in November and it was one of the high points of our 2 week stay in NZ. Highlights: Hector dolphins playing & racing under our boat, fur seals basking on rocks, catching fish, pulling a lobster trap and exploring caves!
Tony was very knowledgeable about everything to do with the water and Akaroa. We also learned so much about NZ culture and history. I highly recommend the trip!

First of all, my family and I just want to say thank you to Tony for looking after us. We had the most wonderful experience on the boat tour. This was our first time seeing dolphins and seals up close! Tony is a very knowledgeable man too! Highly recommend! Cannot wait to tell all our friends. :)

This was honestly one of the best days I've spent travelling in NZ in the last two years, myself my boyfriend and 3 friends all went on the morning cruise from Akaroa, apart from the fact we were blessed with exceptional weather the boat seemed to be a wildlife magnet. Everywhere I looked there were Hectors dolphins, sea birds, jellyfish, krill, seals, we even thought we briefly spotted a penguin. Tony the skipper is a legend, so knowledgeable and fun, introducing us to everything we laid our eyes on, with a good knowledge of history, geology and wildlife, you won't be disappointed. The boat is small enough to be able to get up really close to the exceptional coastline once you leave the bay and it is truly magical. Thanks for a great day Tony, we will treasure that forever.

We had a great experience on a fishing charter trip with Tony last weekend. He was a great host and very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife & fishing. Would definitely go again! Thanks!

Tony and his deputy made this trip unforgettable for the whole family. Even after years you can see his passion for the animals around. Absolutely recommended

(Translated) Very nice boat trip. Nice that it is a smaller company where the skipper is also the owner, he tells with great passion about the environment, along the way we saw a lot of animals such as dolphins and baby seals. Well worth it!!!

Erg leuke bootreis. Leuk dat het een kleiner gezelschap is waarbij de schipper ook eigenaar is, met veel passie vertelt hij over omgeving, onderweg hebben we erg veel dieren gezien zoals dolfijnen en baby zeehondjes. Zeker de moeite waard!!!

(Translated) Small is beautiful
This is a somewhat smaller boat, but with a lot of service and personal attention
Tony the skipper tells himself how beautiful nature is and calmly sails to the dolphins. Great that you are on the boat with 8-10 people

Klein maar fijn
Dit is een wat kleinere boot, maar met veel service en persoonlijke aandacht
Tony de schipper vertelt zelf hoe mooi de natuur is en vaart rustig naar de dolfijnen. Geweldig, dat je met 8-10 personen op de boot zit
