Dolphin watching Akaroa
We had a fantastic afternoon. We saw plenty of dolphins the sun was shining what more can you ask for? The captain was very knowledgeable and the other crew member was great. We would definitely recommend this trip for sure.

Love Sailing & Marine Life? Book it now!
You won't be disappointed! Skipper Roy with his crew, Emmi and Jess, will make sure you have a fantastic time aboard! We saw fur-seals, blue penguins, several pods of Hector's dolphin and even a Giant Pectryl. Roy gave a very interesting geological/historical commentary and both crew answered all questions whilst simultaneously keeping us fed and watered. Well done to Roy, his crew and Red Fox II for a wonderful sailing experience.

Brilliant Trip!
This was a wonderful trip to see out of Akaroa Harbour. The boat is beautiful and it was great to see the sails up. The numbers on board are small so there is plenty of space. We had loads of Hectors dolphins join us for a large proportion of the trip which was a delight. We also saw seals and a variety of birds. Roy’s commentary was interesting and I really enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend!
