During the September 2010 Christchurch Earthquake, our hospital in Akaroa was damaged and had to be demolished. Akaroa Dolphins decided to donate a sum of $30,000 which went directly towards the rebuild. Thank you to all our customers for making this possible and indirectly helping us achieve this valuable contribution towards our community.
If you’re thinking ‘What to do in Akaroa’ and you only have one day, whether you are coming from Christchurch or a cruise ship this article has been designed for you! One of our biggest tips is to book everything in ADVANCE – just so you don’t miss out!

If you’re an Instagram lover like us, or on a budgeted New Zealand experience, we thought you would appreciate a list of all the ’go-to’ FREE spots in and around Akaroa.
After many months of looking for the “perfect” boat, we found there was nothing suitable on the market that met our needs. Therefore, we began the journey of building Akaroa’s first purpose-built dolphin watching vessel.
