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!

정말 좋아요
출발한지 10분부터 쭉~ 봤어요. 헥터 돌고래 아주 자주 보여요. 물개들도 많이 봤고 아기물개도 많이 봤어요. 가족들은 아주 만족했구요. 헥터돌고래는 세계에서 가장 작은 고래고 멸종위기 종에다가 뉴질랜드 해안에서만 산다고 하네요. 카이코우라까지 안가고 아카로아에서도 잘 보여서 정말 좋았어요. 배도 편하고 2시간 밖에 안돼서 멀미도 생각보다 안나요. 추울수 있으니 바람막이는 필수로 챙겨야 하구요. 완전 추천해요!!!
LEE YOON NOH from South Korea wrote on 04 February 2020
좋은경험이었어요
재밌었어요! 다볼수있어요 여러가지로. 조금 추웠지만, 담요랑 커피도 무료로주고, 라면도 주고(유료) 그래서 좋았습니다.
B Choi from South Korea wrote on 11 September 2019
좋은 경험~~
멀미가 심하신 분들은 멀미약 꼭 챙기고 꼭 크루즈 시간을 넉넉히 잡고 가시길 바래요. 아카로아 가는 길이 꼬불꼬불해서 그때서부터 멀미가 시작되는데 바로 도착하자마자 그 상태로 배타면 엄청 고생할거에요. 저희 엄마도 그래서 멀미때문에 엄청 고생을 했는데 크루가 저보다 더 엄마를 잘 챙겨주었어요. 따뜻한 물이랑 토할수 있는 위생봉투랑 다 챙겨줘서 고맙더라구요. 코스가 두시간인데 삼십분은 돌고래 스팟으로 항해, 그리고 한시간은 스팟에서 돌고래 찾기, 남은 삼십분은 선착장으로 되돌아가는 시간으로 구성되어 있어요. 돌고래를 찾는 한시간 동안 밖에 갑판에서 있어야 잘 볼수 있기때문에 꼭 옷 따뜻하게 입고 가는걸 추천해요. 히트텍 필수! 패딩 필수! 봄에 갔는데도 엄청엄청 추웠어요. 저는 돌고래 두 번, 물개 두 번 봤어요.

뉴질랜드 어떤 배보다 좋았네요
돌고래 알바트로스 아기펭귄 물개 다 보고 화산지형도 다 둘러보고 돈 아깝지 않았네요. 선장님이 친절하신데다가 영어 발음도 사투리 없이 괜찮아서 다른 곳들보다 설명이 더 알아듣기 쉬웠습니다.

귀여운 물개들
크루즈가 크고 시설이 좋았습니다. 돌고래와 물개와 펭귄을 볼 수 있었습니다. 특히 물개들의 활기찬 모습이 기억에 많이 남습니다. 아이들과 우리 가족에게 뉴질랜드는 '아카로아 블랙캣 크루즈' 덕분에 물개로 기억될 것 같습니다. 행복한 기억 감사합니다.
