A picture of the tour
Dolphins are one of the earth's most fascinating creatures and few other areas are blessed with their presence all round, as in the Bay of Islands.

On this the ultimate marine adventure you'll get right up close to the dolphins. Watch their antics, get fantastic photos and conditions permitting go swimming with them. And it's not just dolphins we'll show you - at times you'll see whales, seals, penguins and other wildlife.

Our staff have years of experience in the Bay and an intimate knowledge of marine mammal behaviour. They not only know where to find them they're able to tell you all about them.

We get you to the dolphins fast in our jet -powered catamaran. It's the best vessel in the bay for dolphin viewing with large deck areas and plenty of room to move around.

After your Dolphin Encounter you'll have the added bonus of stopping off on beautiful Urupukapuka Island. If you wish, stay for the day to enjoy the coastal walks, magnificent beaches and swimming and return later on the vessel. (available October to May morning departure).

Whenever possible we will allow you to swim with the dolphins but under some conditions viewing only will be possible. This is for your own safety and the protection and well being of the dolphins. Passengers should wear there bathing costume under their clothes for ease of changing bring a towel and some warmer clothes.
