Black Cat Cruises

"My partner and I had a last minute cruise with Black Cat today and it was a lovely experience. We saw so many dolphins!! Gorgeous scenery, would love to return for a swim with the dolphins one day."

"From reception to the boat absolutely amazing. Loved listening to the history and knowledge the skipper had. 100% hands down best few hours ever."

"On holiday from Australia with partner staying with my daughter and her family in Darfield. We booked 4 adults, 1 child and an infant on the dolphin tour. We were able to see the dolphins, penguins, seals also pristine views of the land while on the tour which was all commentated by the knowledgeable skipper whom also detailed a lot of the history in that area too. Great family day out!!!"

"Professional company with much respect for the dolphins! We were informed before the tour that there was a 50/50 chance that we were able to swim because the morning tour was showing no interest from the dolphins. We could get a full refund or rebook, but preferred the cruise. It was very exciting to search for the dolphins and we were lucky to see two pots joining together. It looked that there was interest and we were allowed to get in the water. Unfortunately another boat came close and the scene was disturbed. We got a 50% refund and that was more than expected (or needed). Highly recommended"

"Went for Akaroa Nature Cruises and saw Hector Dolphins. The cruise started at 1:30 PM from the Main Wharf Akaroa. The boat was pretty full. It was a guided tour and there was commentary throughout the boat trip, which was really nice. We saw Hector Dolphins, jelly fishes, other fishes, seals and birds etc. Also saw the natural caves carved on the rocks. The time of the trip was 2 hours in total. The whole experience was Awesome!"
