Christchurch Wildlife Cruises
Just 15 minutes from Christchurch by free shuttle which departs from the Cathedral Square is a scenic wonderland teeming with history and wildlife.
Lyttelton Harbour was fashioned from the molten fires of a long extinct volcano. Today aboard the Canterbury Cat, you can prowl the waters on a two hour voyage of discovery. Enjoy the rare Hector's Dolphin, the world's smallest. See Little Blue Penguins, spotted shags, terns and gulls. Learn about these and more in your skipper's fascinating commentary ? as well as tales from the area's geological and human history: islands, forts, Maori sites and colonial settlements.
What to Bring
We suggest you wear warm clothing. Even on warm days, there may be a cool sea breeze blowing. Sun screen and a hat is a must even if its cloudy. Bring your camera - there are incredible views.
