Beachcomber Cruises. Queen Charlotte Cruise & Track Adventures

We chose this cruise after researching all the available cruises offered from Havelock and Picton. It was a real disappointment. All the advertising refers to the commentary and knowledge of the area. We were really looking forward to learning the local information, learning about the birds and hopefully seeing some sea life. Our tour operator was totally disinterested. He made 4 short comments on a 4 hour cruise. My children, husband and I watched the beautiful scenery go by with not a single bit of information. When I asked he was rude saying surely I did not expect him to speak for 4 hours! We brought keep cups for the free tea and coffee - not even offered once. 15 minute stop at Ships Cove - is not enough time to even read all the information at the site. This trip should actually be refunded to us as what we paid for and what we received what not at all acceptable! I did go to the office and report my disappointment, I was told a manager would contact me. Its 7 days later and nothing- so as promised my reviews.

We were worried as the ferries were cancelled due to high swells, however as the staff mentioned they are rarely affected by these & we had a lovely time, very comfortable ride. Bird sanctuary Island well worth doing, saw penguins
