ECO TOURISM
Responsible tourism for us, is about creating respectful cruises between wildlife and people.
We are the only yacht licensed to view and research dolphins in the Bay of Islands, we are a small local family business, operating responsible dolphin tours for over 27 years.
We are about helping people experience the natural world and creating spaces for people to make a difference.
We are the only company in the Bay of Islands, to be awarded a Responsible Whale Watching Certificate, by international organisation World Cetacean Alliance (WCA).
