Hi, 

I'm wondering if anyone could share their experience with me.  My husband and I were thinking of going to the orokonui ecosanctuary in dunedin during our November Cruise.

Has anyone been there? What did you think? How did you travel there from Port Chalmers?

Thanks All!

Thanks! Sounds like you had optimum viewing; how wonderful!

Did you see any dolphins or penguins while sailing?

Thanks for the link and your thoughts!

Hi all,

We will be on the Golden Princess this November going from Melbourne to NZ. Before arriving at Dunedin there is a day of Fiordland National Park Scenic Cruising.

I'm wondering what we will see during this day of scenic cruising.  Hoping that some of you could describe the views, we'll be seeing.

Thanks,

We have. Did it in March this year during our Majestic Princess cruise. It was fun but an extremely long day. Lots of driving to and from the Jet Boat and 4x4 vehicle.

 

Jet Boat was great fun. Exhilarating . 4x4 was an experience. Very bumpy but saw some gorgeous scenery and thankfully had great weather. Buffet lunch served in between the two with New Zealand lamb which was very tasty. Served with baked potato and salads followed by a brownie and another option. Nice gift shop to buy some souvenirs afterwards.

 

Would recommend the excursion but it is a substantial investment.

 

Will post some pictures when I get home.

Thanks for your input!  Your pictures are wonderful!

What did you think about the Fiordland National Park Scenic Cruise?  Did you see the mountains as close as you did on this excursion?

We're going to NZ this fall with Golden Princess.  Has anyone taken the Akaroa shore excursion entitled Canterbury High Country by 4WD & Jetboat?

If you have can you let me know your thought on it? Thanks!
