Akaroa, Wildlife Sailing Cruise with Dolphins and Penguins


Fox II Sailing & Wildlife Adventure


Set sail for the crater of an extinct volcano to see the rare Hector's dolphins, spotting seals and penguins along the way. Take in the views of the cliffs and caves as you relax and soak up the sun.


Akaroa



Sail with dolphins in the harbor as well as the Pacific Ocean. Visit caves, cliffs and waterfalls along the journey. See penguins, seals, and albatrosses as well as a myriad of other seabirds. Learn about the French, Maori, and English local history along the way.

Experience the age of sail aboard a traditional sailboat, The Fox II. The Fox II is a wooden (kauri) gaff-rigged ketch that was hand built in 1922 in Auckland. We are proudly Kiwi and privately owned and have been operating in Akaroa Harbour for over 30 years.

The Fox II has received the Qualmark Gold Accreditation, recognizing it as one of the most high-quality, safe, and sustainable experiences in New Zealand.
