This dolphin encounter was such a special experience, we saw what felt like a hundred dolphins, who were very playful and swam close to the boat. The cruise is run professionally, and all staff involved did such a wonderful job. They were warm and friendly, and consistently checked on the passengers to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable.
Fantastic morning on the water with captain Kate and her crew. We saw lots of dolphins and were lucky as they were very friendly on that day and got close to the boat. Really great quality tour with excellent staff who clearly enjoy what they do.
This was a FABULOUS experience!! Slow start to the day, but by the third, fourth and fifth dives we were surrounded by dusky dolphins. It was a once in a lifetime experience. A must do in Kaikoura.
Such an amazing experience swimming with *so* many dusky dolphins! Everything was very well organized and I would recommend this to anyone in Kaikoura!
Amazing experience dolphins everywhere. Have a little sing with them.
