We chose to visit Akaroa because it's one of the few places in the world where it's possible to see Hector's Dolphin, the smallest dolphin in the world. But there was a storm forecast and the cruise operators didn't know if they would be running :-(.
Luckily they did decide to go out (but only in the harbour - just as well it's so big) and we spotted dolphins almost immediately. They are so cute and swam right alongside the boat for about forty minutes. It was magical :-)!
We also saw terns and seals but no penquins. I didn't mind: the dolphins alone were special enough.
