Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Behold the breathtaking panorama of earth, sea and sky from the deck of a catamaran. After a welcome aboard, the boat will traverse the harbor's calm waters, a popular recreational spot. Lyttelton Harbour is almost a mile and a quarter long, and beyond the township of Lyttelton, it opens out into three wide and shallow bays studded with small islands. Wildlife is abundant, including the smallest of the species, the Hector's dolphin, as well as coastal birdlife. As you cruise, the skipper will share the area's fascinating Maori and European history and the stories behind the shoreline's many highlights. You will get a true sense of the harbor's volcanic past and the lively activity ashore. As you gaze out on the picturesque vistas, you can sip a hot beverage and listen to the skipper's entertaining narration-a wonderful way to learn the history of Lyttelton Township and its surrounding waterways.
Special Notes:
There is approx. a 300m walk each way between the ship and the tour catamaran following a 5 minute shuttle transfer.Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed
