Discover the natural beauty and fascinating wildlife on Akaroa Harbour with an amazing 2-hour cruise aboard the Black Cat, a spacious, modern catamaran specifically built for sight-seeing.
Departing from Akaroa, you'll soak up sweeping scenic views over the Harbour from the purpose-built viewing decks while enjoying enthralling commentary from the skipper on-board.
While cruising, you'll discover and get up close to playful New Zealand Hector's dolphins, fur seals, penguins and a wide range of sea birds! Not only that, but we'll cruise past a host of local landmarks and points of interest including the stunning volcanic formation of Cathedral Cave, plus you'll see relics of Maori and colonial history, and see a modern working salmon farm.
Dolphins are sighted on 95% of our trips, if you do not see dolphins we will give you a voucher to go again another day. Voted one of the top 101 things to do in New Zealand by local New Zealanders!

航行很充實，值得一去
不只可以看到海豚，還能看到海豹(還是海狗?)。沿途會經過一區鳥類的居住地。 就算是夏天，海上的風還是很冷，記得帶保暖外套。 如果要坐二樓的位置要早點去排隊。樓上有太陽曬但出港後就有海風吹會很涼。 拿著手機憑證到碼頭店家位置報到就可以了。

一個不錯的體驗
這天天氣不太好，真的太大浪，但整個旅程真的不錯，有看到海獅，及看到一次海豚，我相信如果天氣好一點，應該不錯
Sharon from China wrote on 13 September 2023
非常值得去的一趟一日游
如果您在基督城，一定要抽时间来Akaroa看海豚。 不是关在海洋馆里的那种，而是露天大海的纯天然海豚。我们来过几次了，每次都能看到海豚，船长从来都不会让你失望。除了有风的时候，一定要拿晕船药。其他都是100分。五星推荐。
