Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise: A Symphony of Marine Life

Upon arrival in Akaroa, prepare to be enchanted as you embark on a two-hour nature cruise from the main wharf.

This is your chance to witness the magic of the Hector's dolphin, the world's smallest and rarest dolphin species, as they playfully frolic in their natural habitat.

Your knowledgeable skipper will share fascinating insights into the region's rich history and geology, pointing out the volcanic cliffs that guard the harbour entrance.
