Relaxing and rewarding
Very enjoyable experience. Crew are easygoing and friendly. Saw the dolphins several times. Well worth it. Very relaxing return journey with the sails billowing.

Wonderful adventure
Everything as promised plus more! A superb afternoon on the water. Have been to Akaroa & Banks Peninsula many times but it’s a completely different place when see and explored from the water.
