Best experience ever! We were expecting a handful of dolphins. We got hundreds. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Wetsuits were very good so even though winter with 7d water temps, we weren’t cold.nnThe dolphins really interact swimming so close to you and circling you to investigate. My 9 and 12 year olds have had a lifetime memory.
Great experience overall. Very nice staff and everything is super well organised! Amazing to see so many dolphins swimming at the same time.nnIf you are flexible on your dates I would recommend avoiding to take the tour after rainy days: there are some rivers in the area and if it’s been wet over the past few days the water might not be very clear and it can affect significantly the visibility under the water. And I guess also the playfulness of the dolphins, who won’t see much either!
Top location for swimming with dolphins! Staff were informative and friendly, got fitted into wetsuits and got our gear quickly. Short bus ride to the boat and another 20-30 minutes to where the dolphins are. Watching the sunrise on the boat is beautiful! Seeing the dolphins do their thing in their natural habitat is as amazing too. Must book in advance during summer months. Go for 530am if you can. Thank you!
We swam with the dolphins and it was the most amazing experience on our month long New Zealand vacation. The instructions before we went out were very thorough and the staff on the boat were super helpful, giving extra instructions on how to snorkel.nThe boat stopped a few times and then you jumped into the water, there were hundreds of dolphins and it was just amazing swimming with them.nIf you get seasick bring some medication since it can get quite rough on the way out
Amazing ! Went out on a perfect day weather wise and the dolphins seemed to be enjoying themselves as well, very playful and loads of them. Everywhere. I went in for a swim and they were close and would swim under you and if you were lucky circle you. So much fun. . A very special experience. The organization on the day was spot on, everyone was friendly and professional. I wanted to book another trip immediately.
