Our memorable sunset/ moonlight tours and offshore tours at spectacular Moutohorā / Whale Island (we sail there by catamaran) are particularly popular.
For us, growing a sustainable business is about being able to protect and enhance our natural environment as well educating our visitors on the challenges we face.
On tour we feed you with home grown or home baked produce, introduce you to other natural edibles and entertain you with salty yarns. Our guides are local, enthusiastic and experienced and happy to be quizzed on all manner of subjects.
Be part of our journey and experience a special corner of Aotearoa New Zealand.
