Reviews: Akaroa: Swimming with Wild Dolphins Experience
Guest User2025-12-31
I really loved the activity. We were lucky enough to have 2 great swims with the dolphins even though the swells were quite rough. We even saw penguins and seals. Grace and William were fantastic guides. Keen to receive the photographs they were taking of the swims.★

Reviews: Akaroa Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-03-28
Very nice! Akoroa was such a cute village and the stops along the way were pleasant surprises! Tasted and bought some cheese and had contracted for the lunch which was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The crew on the boat were equally as helpful and got into some fun conversations with Ben who helped spot those dolphins and a few penguins.★

Reviews: Arthur's Pass Day Tour From Christchurch via Castle Hill
Guest User2026-02-09
Clive was a great guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. Followed his recommendation to take a jet boat ride at the home of jet boats, Alpine Jet. I'm glad I did, as I'm sure that I would have regretted it if I hadn't. Castle Hill was spectacular, the views from the other side of Arthur's Pass took the breath away, especially when Clive pointed out the original route of the road, across the scree slope. Otira Stagecoach Hotel was eccentric and the coffee wasn't that bad... Also glad I took the walk to Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall, although it did test my fitness levels.
