We saw a Dolphin Nursery Pod and my life is now complete

I completely understand that we lucked out when we saw the dolphin nursery pod. It might not always happen but when it does happen it will be something you remember for the rest of your life. If it doesnt, the tour was still great! We learned a lot and still got to enjoy an incredible day out on the water. The crew are very passionate about what they do and are so lovely at answering questions. Highly reccomend this experience!
A long time on the water for little viewing.

While it was cool to see the dolphins swimming and jumping along side our boat, for the 4 hours we were on the boat, we saw marine life for roughly 45 minutes. For roughly 30 of those minutes, we watched a Bryde's whale that was swimming around out in the distance. Occasionally you would see it blow from its hole and arch out of the water, but it was so fleeting that if you weren't looking at where it was, you missed it. The rest of the time we were driving out and listening to the information about all the various islands we were passing and other marine life we were looking out for. That was a lot of riding on the boat for short glimpses of marine life. I realize that we are watching for animals in the wild and the operator has no control over what we see so it's all a gamble on whether or not you think a 4 hour boat ride will be enjoyable only to see a glimpse of marine life - unless you are lucky and go on an active day. The views were pretty though.
Amazing trip, glimpse into conservation and an amazing diverse sea life

Great weather, fabulous crew, and we saw 4 or 5 whales in addition to who knows how many dolphins. The crew knows what to look for on the water in relation to if there is a whale nearby and do a great job of trying to keep the action in front of everyone. Recommend this tour 1000%
Great adventure for your time in Auckland

Had a fantastic time on our whale and dolphin safari! The staff were knowledgeable and shared really interesting information. The boat was comfortable and the whole experience very fun. We saw several whales and many dolphins, and it was exhilarating! Would highly recommend.
