Did you know that the Akaroa Harbour is one of the best places to see one of the world's smallest dolphins? The Hector's dolphin only has a small population and are classified by the Department of Conservation as 'nationally vulnerable'.

Why not take a cruise out on the harbour to spot the dolphins, and if you like to get wet you can even swim with them 🐬 Our Major Partner Black Cat Cruises are the perfect hosts: "Each tour is guided by a knowledgeable Nature Guide and Skipper aboard our specially designed vessel, which offers an informative commentary of the harbour while highlighting wildlife conservation efforts in the region."
