Not only do you get to see the beautiful Marlborough Sound and all the creatures that call it home, but the staff is amazing. You'll love it!
Response from Host, Mar 2020
Thank you, glad you enjoyed your trip!
Cruising around the sound was beautiful and relaxing. We were able to see a few groups of dolphins but none were the kind we were allowed to actually get in the water with. We also witnessed a fur seal eating it's catch up close. The crew was great and there was no hassle with getting the partial credit for not being able to get in the water.
This was one of the most amazing experiences.....swimming with dolphins was unbelievable. ...then spending time following them around in the boat watching them playing.
The staff were great and friendly
