Tutanekai - Authentic Ecology and Culture in the Marlborough Sounds
Pete and Takutai Beech are acknowledged as the guardians of the Marlborough Sounds. Their empathy with and knowledge of the environment are very deep. And their lives stand testament to their fine ethics. In basic terms, no one knows more about the wildlife in this area. With Pete and Takutai, we don't present a gin palace and waitress service - this is a down-to-earth honest New Zealand experience on an old, loved launch, custom built for the area.
Step aboard the Tutanekai for an unforgettable journey through the serene Marlborough Sounds. This experience offers a unique chance to witness the "real acrobats of the ocean" - dusky dolphins - as they somersault through the crystal-clear waters. From the deck, you’ll enjoy a front-row seat to New Zealand’s incredible marine life, including curious seals and a variety of seabirds, all set against a backdrop of lush, forested hills.
