Day 54 the 2021/22 Season
The ladies have arrived and so begins that crazy time of year where they mess with the mojo of the boys in the Foveaux!
As we head into Autumn, the sharks get bigger, but so do the waves! We are mindful that travelling the Strait can be a tough day for people who arent so familiar with a rough sea. When preparing for your day out with our crew, please consider preparing for seasickness too! ( Handy Hint: Avoid Hangovers the day of your tour!)
Once you have booked, we will keep you updated about the weather, crazy covid rule changes and anything else that you will need to know before arrival.
Kia kaha Te Ika-a-Maui - see you soon!
