Hi David, that's fine. I thought it easier for people interested to deal with Helen direct (the office girl) who ultimately will take care of the booking.

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't any or very little interest going from previous experience in trying to get a boat together.

Hi,
I'm a young Belgian birder in NZ for 10 weeks holiday.
I am very interested in going on such a trip. As I'm travelling on my own, it's hard to get any tour to run...
Every opportunity is good to take, especially a golden one like this one. And it happens to be on the week-end I was planning to go to Kaikoura...

Cheers,
Nils

Well done Nils. But i don't think there is any one else interested. Only me and you that I'm aware of.
Keep in touch.
