The first treat was a flock of Buller's shearwaters, endangered seabirds which are endemic to the Poor Knights Islands.
Further out we happened across another even more amazing sight - a pod of more than a dozen orcas (killer whales) who were happy to come up very close to the boat.
There was snorkelling in the afternoon - very cold and poor visibility but we did see a huge shoal of fish as we floated through an arch in one of the islands and lots of jellyfish too.
On the way back, we took a detour to the Rikoriko Cave - the largest surveyed sea cave in the world which provides some incredible acoustics...
