Details
Black Cat Cruises, New Zealand’s pioneering eco-tourism operator, has led responsible marine mammal viewing since 1985. Based in Akaroa, we offer award-winning eco-tourism experiences, including the Akaroa Nature Cruise and Swimming with Dolphins.
Our 2-hour Akaroa Nature Cruise takes you on a journey around an extinct volcanic crater to experience majestic scenery and stunning wildlife. While onboard our modern catamaran, view the rare and playful NZ Hector’s dolphin, native NZ fur seals, penguins and other seabirds.
Our 3.5-hour Swimming with Dolphins experience is a must for your bucket list—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim in the wild with the endangered Hector’s Dolphin, the world’s rarest and smallest dolphin. An intimate wildlife experience with max of only 12 swimmers, you'll be guided by our experienced local crew and supported by world-class facilities in picturesque Akaroa.
