What you should know about BlAck Cat Cruises
With twin powered jet units capable of pushing the vessel along at speeds of up to 25 knots, this vessel was purpose built to view and swim with the dolphins. The Award Winning Black Cat Group is internationally recognised as one of the success stories of the New Zealand tourism industry and an eco tourism pioneer. We were the first to offer cruises in Akaroa and we are recognised as New Zealand's first Eco tourism operator. These ensure the marine mammals of New Zealand are protected and that their conservation is a top priority.
We'd love to keep in touch with you! We have an information packed newsletter which goes out via email once every two months. Black Cat Group is one of the success stories of the New Zealand tourism industry. More than 120,00 people will experience a Black Cat Group cruise this year in a fleet of modern catamarans. Akaroa Harbour Cruises was first launched with the intention of showing off Hector's Dolphins as well as the other scenic and historic highlights of popular Akaroa Harbour.
This sanctuary banned commercial set netting altogether and restricted recreational set netting. In 199, the company was renamed Black Cat Group and cruise services were launched on Lyttelton Harbour. In 2008 the company launched two new purpose built dolphin swimming vessels in Akaroa. We aim to minimize what we leave behind by reducing our energy consumption and thus reducing carbon emissions.
Effective maintenance programmes combined with training also reduce the risk of environmental emergencies. We can and have had an incredibly positive impact on the local environment and community. These ensure the marine mammals of New Zealand are protected and that their conservation is a top priority. Our interactions with marine mammals adhere to all regulations and our conservation focused tours, educate and raise awareness.
We like to employ people who are passionate about Banks Peninsula, the scenery, the history, the experience and especially the unique connection we offer with the marine wildlife of our region
In fact 3,00 immigrants arrived over the next two years all looking for the promise of a new land and a new life. As a shadowy insight into what was to come one of Scott's crew decided to climb the mast and is said to have been trying to execute a headstand as the ship departed. On New Year's Day 1908 the ship Nimrod left for Antarctica directly from Lyttelton. Parades were held in the streets of Lyttelton with the crew dressed in their special clothing and the port area was used by the crews to practice putting up the prefabricated buildings used on the Ice. Rocks and pebbles rolled down gullies or were washed along in glaciers, rivers and streams to create the fertile Canterbury Plains and the Peninsula.
Ash and dust from these eruptions would have entered the atmosphere, reducing the intensity of incoming sunlight. Erosion quickly eats into the softer material, and even the stronger rock cannot survive once it is left exposed. The Akaroa volcano was similar in height to Mount Ruapehu, which is an active volcano located in the centre of New Zealand's North Island. The Waitaha gave the South Island one of the Maori names still used today Te Wai Pounamu the waters of greenstone . South Island chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6th 1840 at the Kaik near Akaroa.
Many streets have French names, and there are descendants of the original French families still living in Akaroa. More than 120,00 people will experience a Black Cat Group cruise this year in a fleet of modern catamarans. In 199, the company was renamed Black Cat Group and cruise services were launched on Lyttelton Harbour. Christchurch Wildlife Cruises repeated the successful formula from Akaroa Harbour Cruises on a harbour just 15 minutes from Christchurch.
The ferry service has been operating between Lyttelton and Diamond Harbour since 188. The Black Cat Group has also reached the finals of the host section of the Champion Canterbury Awards three years running
