Carol and Bruce of Maison de la Mer recommended a trip on Fox II and we are so glad they did. It was absolutely fabulous. Roy and the crew were great. We were lucky enough to see dolphins on our trip - females with calves. This was wonderful and so moving. They came so close to the boat, which was... More

We are so pleased we chose Fox ll to explore the harbour on. The skipper Roy and his crew were very knowledgable and a lot of fun. It was a small tour group and felt very personal and a lot ... romantic, seriously! The beautiful music set the mood. The Dolphins danced all morning for us. We saw a lone... More

While on a cruise we were lucky enough to have booked the Fox II for a sightseeing tour. We thought this was one of the best tours of many we took in New Zealand. We saw a lot of wildlife, some incredible scenery. The information from the captain was very informative and well presented. When we return to New Zealand... More

Owner Roy and his crew are so friendly and personable in making this Harbor tour a highlight of the day in Akaroa!! On a beautiful day they made sure we saw the Hector Dolphins swimming all around the Fox II in the harbor. We also saw a number of Sea Lions resting on the rocks along the coast line, and... More

A wonderful trip on the Fox Ii. Roy and his team did an excellent job to bring us to see the dophines, sea lions etc.. The weather on that day was beautiful and the crew is very helpful. I enjoyed the trip very much and would recommend anyone to experience the Fox II when you are in Akaroa.

First class all the way - should be rated #1 attraction in Akaroa. Wildlife was great, the crew was better - couldn't be happier with our experience.

I chose this trip as it was a traditional sailing boat and not the usual motorised catamaran. The location is wonderful, skipper and crew very entertaining. the wildlife is beyond belief we saw lots of everything we were promised but a highlight for me was seeing an Albatross when we ventured out into the Pacific. As a lifelong small boat... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard the " Fox Tail Two". We enjoyed seeing the seals, dolphins, albatross and penguins and the pleasant company of the skipper and his crew ( good one guys ). Sailing on a old historic vessel is part of this fantastic experience that even my 83 year old mother enjoyed. Besides the wild life and... More

The perfect trip to see dolphins, seals and albatrosses while getting swept along the wonderful coast and harbour of Akaroa on an impressive sailing ship. Roy is a truly dedicated wildlife guide and his sailing crew is backing him up and serves some really good coffee and tea. Definately the best "off the coast"-experience in NZ!
