Balade inoubliable

Magnifique croisière. Le capitaine du bateau nous a fait découvrir Akaroa. Il met tout son coeur pour nous faire découvrir la nature et l'histoire de sa région. C'est une personne passionnée qui ne considère pas les touristes comme des tiroirs caisse et qui fait tout pour que l'on passe un super moment. Merci encore ce fut une expérience incroyable.

Croisière mavique

C'est une expérience inoubilable. Une croisière sur un bateau à voiles dans un petit groupe. Apres la sortie du port le capitaine met la musique etles dauphins arrivent et font la course avec le bateau il y en avait bien une dizaine.de plus le soleil est de la partie. L' équipage etait très sympa.

Expérience très émouvante

Mon frère et moi avons offert ce tour en voilier à notre cousine pour son anniversaire. C'était la première fois de sa vie qu'elle voyait des dauphins. Ce n'était pas le cas pour moi mais très certainement la première fois que cela fut aussi émouvant ; d'autant plus en la voyant elle complètement émerveillée devant le spectacle. Nous avons adoré et je le recommande vivement. Cela offre une alternative bien plus authentique selon moi que les tours en bateau classiques et une bien plus grande proximité avec les animaux.
