Black Cat Cruises

Black Cat Cruises is a travel and tourism operator working across Banks Peninsula. Their Akaroa Nature Cruise and Swimming with Dolphins experiences depart from Akaroa Harbour, a 90 minute drive from Christchurch, where visitors can see Hector's dolphins, seals and native seabirds. From Lyttelton Wharf they run the Diamond Harbour ferry and trips to Quail Island and Ripapa Island. As New Zealand's first eco-tourism operator, conservation is central to their work.
