Dolphin / Whale Watching Boat Tour
A day on the water with Phantom Sailing gives you a chance to get away from tourist crowds and enjoy an adventure in a personal atmosphere. This operator has been sailing charter boats for over three decades and will take you to any one of the area's hundreds of sheltered bays, where you can swim, walk, snorkel, or picnic without being disturbed by other visitors. You'll sail with a small group (max 10 people) and enjoy New Zealand's seasonal fruits and cheeses (vegetarian and gluten-free options also available). You can also bring your own beer or wine if you want to entertain your guests and make it a sightseeing party with a bit of a kick. Check the website for rates and booking options.
