Sail with the dolphins in the crater of an extinct volcano on New Zealand’s oldest gaffed rigged ketch and enjoy the wildlife of Akaroa Harbour up close. Relax and soak up the sun, sea and hills or take part as one of the crew. See Hectors dolphins, yellow-eyed and blue penguins, New Zealand fur seals, albatross and other sea birds. Be surrounded by giant volcanic sea cliffs, caves and rock formations along the journey. A guaranteed highlight of your trip that you will remember for the rest of your life.

Each trip is different depending on the wind direction or the sea conditions. Typically we head out of the Akaroa Heads into the Pacific Ocean where there is incredible scenery and generally a bit more wind. We have one of the highest success rates at spotting the wildlife in Akaroa Harbour, it is an exciting trip.

Fox II is the perfect platform for the keen photographer.
