"I just wanted send you a belated Thank You for the great experience you gave me on the Ipipiri. My mom and I had a fantastic time on the cruise. The captain was funny and informative; the kayaking was fun; the food was great (especially the muffins for afternoon tea!) and everything was just wonderful. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a surprise bonus to see Orcas feeding in the late afternoon as well – a once in a lifetime sight! It was an all-around wonderful experience." Mandy from Auckland 2010
