Akaroa Wildlife Cruises
Looking for something just a little bit different? Don’t like crowds but enjoy a friendly chat with the crew? Then let us show you all Akaroa Harbour has to offer.
The Hector’s Dolphins
At Coast up Close we will not target Hector’s dolphins. Any encounters are chance encounters and initiated by the dolphins. We believe that to help secure the future of these Hector’s dolphins all interactions must be on their terms. When Hector’s Dolphins are near, Coast up Close strictly follows the rules of ‘The Marine Mammals Protection Regulations 1992’.
