Meet

Akaroa Dolphins

Let our crew, including our dolphin-spotting dogs, take you on a journey of discovery through the long history of Akaroa Harbour and its inhabitants. Our low-lying luxurious, spacious boat ensures you have a closer encounter with the rare Hector’s dolphins. We also endeavour to give you the best possible viewing of our local New Zealand fur seals, penguins, and seabirds.

Along the way, you will get to see sea caves and other spectacular volcanic formations too. We offer a friendly and comfortable experience that includes a complimentary local award-winning wine, beer, or juice, as well as delicious home baking.

Wow your guests on your own personal catamaran, cruising through the harbour before mooring in one of the picturesque bays to soak up the sunshine. Catering to all requirements, we’ll ensure that your private charter is everything you hope it to be. We can accommodate a private group of 40 pax per cruise, and BYO is available.

Our 100% locally owned and operated business is committed to raising awareness and protecting the marine environment. That is why a portion of your fare goes towards protecting our wildlife.
