This reward enables you to soak up the delights of Akaroa
Harbour, the Riviera of Canterbury. Relax and enjoy a 2 hour
cruise from the luxury of the Canterbury Cat - a 52 foot catamaran
with an enclosed cabin and an upper level open deck. Be educated
and fascinated by the extensive, well researched commentary as
the experienced crew of the Canterbury Cat show you the delights
of the harbour.
One of them is to meet up with families of the smallest and
one of the rarest dolphins, the Hectors Dolphins. These friendly
and inquisitive mammals can only be found in New Zealand waters.
There is a population of around 400 in the peninsula area, which
can be viewed all year. From November to May they come into the
harbour to calve and sightings of the juveniles is always a pleasure
as the Hectors Dolphin is becoming an endangered species. The
harbour is also home to many different varieties of seabird.
For example the smallest penguin in the world, the "White
Flippered Little Blue Penguin", 5 different Cormorant species
and 3 different gulls to name but a few.
Nine million years ago, Akaroa was a live volcano. This has
left many formations of spectacular caves, cliffs, volcanic outcrops
and ancient lava flows all easily seen on your cruise.
Cruises depart daily at 1:30pm (except Christmas Day) and
at 11:00am from November to March - weather permitting.
Bookings need to be made 2-3 days before your selected date to
ensure availability.
Restrictions
In unsuitable weather conditions, sailings may be cancelled.
