Harbour Tours.

Banks Peninsula and Akaroa’s volcanic harbour boasts pristine sailing grounds. The inner harbour holds the French settlement of Akaroa, the Maori village of Onoku Marae, wineries, Salmon – Mussel and Paua Farms. A plethora of wild life in the air, sea and land including penguins, seals and the worlds smallest and rarest dolphin, the Hector Dolphin.

Some of New Zealand’s most dramatic scenery is at your doorstep. Akaroa means “long harbour” and once you leave the area, the coastline changes to provide sheer cliffs, volcanic reefs and pastureland, with an abundance of local aquatic and avian wildlife.

What better way to see all this, than from the water?

Fox II

Departs daily at 10:30am and 1:30pm from Daly’s Wharf behind the Akaroa Visitor Centre late December thru May. 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.
