Good Kiwi Hospitality
Phil was absolutely amazing and adjusted the day with what worked for his passengers. Was lucky to see dolphins 5 times but not sure everyone else saw them. Speakers on back deck need to be turned up a little but other than that a phenomenal experience. Thanks

Great experience
Friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Beautiful views. Comfortable indoor seating with large wide widows but the upstairs outdoor viewing was the place to be. Dolphins, Penguins, weka, just a few of the wildlife spotted, feeding the fish a delightful bonus.
