• Complete guided commentary and helpful, informative crew

Admire playful, acrobatic Dusky Dolphins in their natural environment in this experience of a lifetime off the coast of Kaikoura.

This tour will give you the opportunity to learn about the dolphins that flock to the area in pods of up to a thousand, as well as getting closer to these good-natured mammals as they somersault and leap around your boat. You may be lucky enough to see other marine life - the endangered Hector’s dolphin, New Zealand’s smallest and rarest dolphin is spotted in the area, as well as the world’s largest dolphin, the Orca (or killer whale), and the New Zealand fur seal. 

Watch others swim with the dolphins during the tour in what is a purely natural experience as the dolphins are in no way enticed to the boat by feeding or any other artificial means. If you wish to swim with the dolphins please refer to Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura- Swim with Dolphins
