★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Despite some website issues this was a fantastic experience and we are so glad we did it. Despite the mail boat being an operating mail delivery service they really go out of their way for the tourists. The skipper and 1st mate we had (James and Elizabeth) where brilliant, informative and super funny! Rather than have lunch at the cafe we opted for the farm tour which was excellent. Kelly and Trevor where excellent hosts and it really gave you an insight into how isolated (or not) the farmers are. Kelly was a great host with a warm and lovely persona. The views are spectacular and only added to by the green mussel farm tour (on the boat) and the stop at the Gannet colony. The mail boat hosts make sure you miss nothing. We will be recommending this to all our friends and will definitely be back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best day ever for a summer trip. A memorable one thats for sure. Great entertainment onboard from the skipper and his assistant with some surprise guests on the way like Pearl and Miss Piggy ? A very well worth trip especially after completing Queen Charlotte Track with walking 71km over 4 days. One of NZ's best backyards to explore. The picnic in Jacob's Bay will not be forgotten. Thank you for a fantastic experience-will highly recommend this fabulous expedition!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have done 100's of boat trips in numerous countries but this one beat them all. The Marlborough Sounds are spectacular!!! The most beautiful scenery and some fantastic sightings of seals, stingrays, a pod of at least 100 dolphins and loads of rare seabirds!! It was very cool playing "postman" for the day and meeting the residents of this rather remote part of the world.
The boat was clean and plenty of space inside and out. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms!
But what really made the trip for me and my two youngsters (age 2 and 8 months) were our two fantastic skippers Phil and Fern! Their commentary was fun and interesting ( not information overload like some tours!) And their knowledge of the sounds was very impressive. They built great rapport with the whole boat of all ages and backgrounds and had us all smiling.
I hear that another company is now taking over this small family owned business. I do hope they make NO changes, because if it's not broke...
Thank you guys for a great day out. It will be one that my kids and myself will remember for years to come!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went on the mail boat tour on 16 July 2021. The crew were awesome and very friendly and shared a lot about the area. The weather was not so much on our side but the team made sure we were all comfortable

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome trip on a not so awesome day. What a wonderful part of the country. Very hardy folk who live out there that's for sure. You would need to be. The day to day conditions would not be easy. Thank you to the female crew, Skipper -Jenny, 1st mate Lauren. Very capable and likeable ladies

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great trip down the Sounds, stopping at a couple of places for short stops. Relaxed and informative. Tea and coffee available. Take a coat in case it gets cool... Good views through (not just past) a muscle farm
