Aldermen Islands Nature Reserve Boat Tour

Also known as the Vanishing Volcanoes, this unique island chain consists of amazing ryolite domes, sweeping cliff faces stretching hundreds of metres vertically into the air, and is littered with endemic flora and fauna not found anywhere on the mainland. Adding to the mystique of this magical place is the marine life commonly seen in the area. Regarded as one of Aotearoa's finest diving locations, you never know what you might see on one of our tours. Sightings may include whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles and all manner of graceful seabirds.  

Come for an adventure with our expert local guides, and who knows, you might even learn a thing or two! If you have a larger group (12 persons plus), please contact us directly as we may have a package deal available to you. This trip is more dependant on favourable sea conditions. Prior to booking it may be a good idea to give us a call to discuss how the weather is looking for your dates.

Important info: The route of the tour varies with the ever changing sea conditions, so no two tours are the same! Operating around the low tide can be tricky for us, so keep your phone close, as we may alter the trip time by an hour or two. We are also a weather dependant service, and your safety and comfort is our priority. If we decide conditions are not suitable we will contact you ASAP with a few options. This may be a refund, voucher, rescheduling of the booking, or an alternative tour.
