Cruise scenic Lyttelton Harbour — an extinct volcanic crater and the shipping gateway to Antarctica.
This two-hour discovery cruise aboard a tour catamaran offers full commentary by a knowledgeable local skipper. You will get up close to the water and go in search of one of the world's rarest and smallest dolphins — the Hector's or New Zealand dolphin.
This is also a journey of marine life discovery. Watch for breeding spotted shags, white-fronted terns and numerous species of gull. As well as the natural wildlife, you will see evidence of the harbor's violent volcanic past.
Lyttelton also boasts a fascinating history, and your skipper will point out the many significant sites including those of the early Maori and European settlers.
Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee as you hear the stories of the historical Lyttelton township and the legends surrounding Ripapa Island.
