The entire crew consisting of Nigel,Austin and William were very cordial and friendly. Mr. William in particular collected and dropped us back to our Hotel. He and Austin kept inquiring about as to whether we were comfortable and provided us with snacks and drinks (not alcohol),during the cruise. Mr.Nigel the skipper kept us giving detailed information on the wildlife and birds we encountered en route. We did see quite a few species in spite of the inclement weather conditions. To sum up things it was worth every penny and truly a memorable experience. Highly recommend.
Went with my family and it was very Lovely trip, they provide a nice big coat and binoculars to enjoy all the wildlife. Crew members were very lovely and informative. We saw the Royal Albatross, sea lion, seals, and dolphin 🐬 Highly recommend this one.
It was too windy and bumpy ride and not seen many wildlife what says on booking
Wow this trip was amazing and great value for money. Royal Albatross flew right by the boat. Saw seals, cormorant colony and Buller albatross as well. Scenery spectacular. Everyone should do this trip! I loved it.

너무 좋은 투어를 했습니다.
투어 하루 전날 Bookme에서 반값 상품을 발견하고 큰 기대 없이 참여한 투어였는데 너무 좋은 투어를 했습니다. 옆집 아저씨같이 사람 좋은 웃음으로 친절히 대해주시며 오타고 반도 주변의 생태와 지리 등에 대해 열심히 알려주신 Jurgen의 가이드가 기억에 많이 남네요. 많은 알바트로스도 보고 바다 위의 세때들 그리고 찰나지만 펭귄를 본 것도 좋았습니다. 날씨 좋은 날 오타고 반도에 간다면 한번쯤 해보셔도 좋을 듯합니다.
