A haven for wildlife and boasting wonderful photography opportunities, Banks Peninsula is an absolute must-see for anyone in the region. Our sailing vessel is a 33-foot MRX yacht. The yacht sails very well and is responsive, making this tour a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly way to enjoy Akaroa Harbour.
We’ll uncover dramatic views of the peninsula’s volcanic formations, spectacular cliffs, caves and coastal scenery. Throughout the cruise, we’ll pass sites of national historic significance and discuss events that helped shape New Zealand as a British colony in the 19th century.
We carry a maximum of 8 passengers, ensuring your trip is a personalised and uncrowded experience. Your friendly and highly experienced skipper and guide have an abundance of knowledge about the area and will share this with you along the way.
If you have any specific points of interest please let us know as we do our best to tailor the trips to suit the interests of our passengers.
You won't want to leave Akaroa without doing this cruise!

Cruise lasted longer than expected
It was a new experience for me. We got the 12nn slot so naturally we got tanned after the cruise. Tip to bring gloves and high socks to keep your body even toned. We saw dolphins and some birds during the cruise. Also saw some greens. I was happy to see how a sail boat is operated and had a good time. I just felt it go be quite longer than expected.
