航行很充實,值得一去

不只可以看到海豚,還能看到海豹(還是海狗?)。沿途會經過一區鳥類的居住地。 就算是夏天,海上的風還是很冷,記得帶保暖外套。 如果要坐二樓的位置要早點去排隊。樓上有太陽曬但出港後就有海風吹會很涼。 拿著手機憑證到碼頭店家位置報到就可以了。

一個不錯的體驗

這天天氣不太好,真的太大浪,但整個旅程真的不錯,有看到海獅,及看到一次海豚,我相信如果天氣好一點,應該不錯

非常值得去的一趟一日游

如果您在基督城,一定要抽时间来Akaroa看海豚。 不是关在海洋馆里的那种,而是露天大海的纯天然海豚。我们来过几次了,每次都能看到海豚,船长从来都不会让你失望。除了有风的时候,一定要拿晕船药。其他都是100分。五星推荐。
