Reviews: Akaroa: Pohatu Penguins Scenic Nature 2-Hour or 4-Hour Tour
Guest User2026-01-17
Ben, our guide, explained everything in great detail, interestingly and informatively, and in a way that was easy to understand, even for those whose English wasn't perfect – we learned a tremendous amount. 10 out of 10 :)★

Great way to get an orientation to the city. The narration was quite informative particularly concerning the earthquake. The historic trams are a nice touch.★

Reviews: Akaroa Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-03-28
Very nice! Akoroa was such a cute village and the stops along the way were pleasant surprises! Tasted and bought some cheese and had contracted for the lunch which was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The crew on the boat were equally as helpful and got into some fun conversations with Ben who helped spot those dolphins and a few penguins.★

Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Optional Departure Train
Guest User2025-12-28
The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!
