The crew are amazing! So helpful and friendly. They do everything they can to make the day unforgettable. Whether you're a dolphin yourself or a non swimmer the experience is first class! We didn't actually get to swim with dolphins but had an unforgettable experience watching oceanic bottle nose dolphins and Pseudo orca. Don't hesitate to book!!!!

Share LinkMagical Dolphins
We had a really great time on the boat. We were a small group, so we had enough place on the boat. We had very good luck and we spot about 200 Dolphins which where hunting. It was magical! Further we saw about 6-10 whales. The staff was more than friendly! I can't complain something. Do it!

Share LinkPerfect Day !
After having unfortunately canceled the excursion of January 6th because of the wind too strong, I was able to postpone the following day because the conditions were better. And what a lucky man I am ! We saw an incredible amount of dolphins and whales (different species), snorkel in a beautiful bay and the must for me was to swim with 2 seals in just perfect conditions. To see them in their element, swim with such grace and come so close to us will probably remain one of my best memories in New Zealand after a 1 year trip! I would also like to sincerely thank the wonderful crew, Mark flying and cooking, Rome & Claire always smiling and caring, very kind ! Thank You so much to Orca Wild Adventures, definitly worth it !!!
