Loved every minute. They said they would try and find the dolphins they didn't disappoint . So many so close awesome trip
Great trip with awesome crew and beautiful winter weather to boot...
Awesome trip out where we got to see two whales, hundreds of dolphins as well as the very rare Southern Right Whale dolphin ?? Great commentary throughout ?
This was one of the best things I've done in New Zealand by far. Our guide, Tracey, was brilliant: very knowledgeable and friendly. We were very lucky and managed to see a pod of around 300 dolphins! I didn't swim but even so I couldnt stop grinning for the whole tour. It was so amazing to see the dolphins in their natural environment and the way they interacted with each other and with the boat was wonderful. We had a good amount of time on the water and even on the journey to and from the dolphins we were able to see lots of other marine life including albatross and seals. A great experience!
Enjoyed the cruise on a really sunny day. The crew gave everybody warning of potential seasickness so you had the option to change days. Having recently been on an orca tour in the Southern Ocean in Australia we were well prepared, but they do have seasickness meds available to buy too. On the way out we saw a large pod of dolphins and was a little disappointed we didn’t stop for them. Our main focus was on two sperm whales and we had some amazing sightings of them and a lot of information provided by the crew. Was absolutely fantastic to see them dive and flick their tail up. Would recommend this tour, but keep in mind that nobody can predict how much wildlife you might see. If you do see some, it’s very special.
