Do not miss doing this!
I can not rate this tour highly enough. The crew are incredibly friendly and helpful and will go above and beyond for you! The trip itself is amazing and something you must experience at least once in your life. Do not miss the opportunity to get up close with 100's of dolphins. I can't wait to be back down to book and go again!

Couldnt swim but still ok
Our tour was cancelled due to the rough sea condition. Luckily the company arranged me for the tour next day. The sea was still rough, we couldnt get down with the dolphins, but we did see quite a few of them. Would try dolphin swim again if i have a chance to visit NZ again.

Seeing hundreds of dolphins was awesome
but didn't get to swim with them. Yup, it's not guaranteed, but still disappointing nonetheless. Rating 3 stars always feels harsh but in reality, it's better than average. If we got to swim with them, would easily be 5 stars but due to many juvenile dolphins we didn't get to swim. We did get to swim with seals though who were chilling at the island of our lunch spot. Nice crew, endless tea and coffee and a well needed sausage sizzle for lunch. You do spend 8ish hours on a boat though, and most of that time we were seeing nothing, so bring a book / a well charged cellphone /whatever to keep you entertained. Some may get very bored in the in-between of the dolphins part. Being surrounded by hundreds of them at the end was awesome though.

Great experience!
Saw a huge pod of dolphins and some Nz fur seals and even managed to come across a HUGE whale shark! They staff were super lovely and offered us hot drinks after every swim because the weather was a bit cold the day we went!
