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 :)★

Reviews: Akaroa: Swimming with Wild Dolphins Experience
Guest User2025-12-31
I really loved the activity. We were lucky enough to have 2 great swims with the dolphins even though the swells were quite rough. We even saw penguins and seals. Grace and William were fantastic guides. Keen to receive the photographs they were taking of the swims.★

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.
