Hello~We will be docking in Lyttleton (I looked and it wasn't listed as a tender port) on November 13, 2022. How do we get to your excursion? It sounds lovely and like a lot of fun and we would love to join you. Thank you!

Kathy, I asked the operator of the local shuttle bus service this exact question only last week but didn’t get a satisfactory answer. The Lyttelton cruise terminal is brand new & will commence operations in late October 2022. It appears that local tour operators will need to be approved by the cruise ship operators & tickets must be bought on the ship. As yet this doesn’t seem to have been finalised. As Akaroa was so popular as a cruise destination, I am hoping a full day tour from Lyttelton to Akaroa will be offered next summer.

Unfortunately, the chances of seeing whale are slim, however, we have a 98% success rate in encountering Hector’s dolphins in their natural environment, all year round.

Yes sea was choppy as dolphins appears far from bay. But they provide water, juice so if you feel like seasick you can take water. If you sit in upper deck, it will help you. In October it should be ideal to go.
