It was wonderful to see so many pods of dolphins swimming free in their own environment... Mumma Whale & Cub was a huge bonus.. not that we were ablevto see much ... thankful to the staff on board for the fab photos that they captured.

The crew is very informative and friendly. They do a great job of teaching while you’re out with and answering questions if you have them. The ride is beautiful and so fun to see!

This boat trip was an amazing experience for my family and I. We saw a huge pod of common dolphins - around 100- playing around the boat for 30 minutes. Sunna (one of the marine biologists) made a presentation about the Moana and the progress made from 2013-2024 which was very interesting. The close up pictures that Britney took were awesome and the knowledge the crew had was incredible.The boat ride itself was a bit splashy but heaps of fun. I also like to thank the captain for keeping us safe and entertained. Thank you Auckland Whale Dolphin Safari! Sofia (11 years - Cambridge, NZ)

The entire crew was amazing! Sanaa and Britney answered every question we had. It was cool to learn about their research and watch them in action collect data. Although, our original booking was cancelled and the rebooked it immediately. Please do not give them a hard for any cancellations. They really know what they are doing and they are considerate and will help you rebook. The views on the tour are wonderful and worth it!

We were a bit unlucky with the wind conditions which meant our search routes were restricted. However, Britney, Joe and the rest of the crew were very accommodating offering refunds and giving out vouchers. The trip ended up being great! We saw lots of amazing dolphins and the crew shared interesting facts and knowledge about marine life in the area. The trip itself was beautiful and we ended up having a wonderful time at sea.
