  • Perfect way to see the dolphins

    We had a brilliant time on this trip. The team were really helpful and informative. We saw a small group of around 7 dolphins first then later a very large group of around 100. We were able to get some fantastic photos. There were newly born dolphins in the group so we couldn't swim with them but we had the opportunity to see them close up from the boat.

  • Impressive team, great communicators.

    My score is not for the tour, but for the overall expeuof dealing with Dolphine Seafaries.I was looking forward to this adventure as part of my cruise to NZ. Unfortunately, the weather was so bad, our ship couldn't dock, so I missed out. However I am writing romaay I had various communicationscswith the providers before I left home and they were extremely responsive and helpful. Also once the cruise cancelled the stop, Viatour and Dolphin Seafaries, refunded my fee, before I had time to think about it. So impressed. It's an absolute promise, that if I ever get the chance to be your way again, your tour is top of my list.

    Amazing saw lots of dolphins. Staff were enthusiastic and informative about the dolphins. We arrived on a cruise ship and our wharf arrival time didn’t give us enough time to get to the departure point. No problem for these guys they just swung by the pier near our wharf and picked us up. Thanks for a great day.

    Amazing experience! We got to see so many dolphins!! 400 at least! The crew was awesome! They made sure we had plenty of time to watch them around the boat. Even though we couldn’t swim with them because they were babies, it honestly didn’t take anything away from the day. On the way back, we even spotted a whale! Totally worth it, super memorable. Highly recommend!

    I made this trip together with my daughter on 07.01.2025 and am totally thrilled. We were there at 8:30, and we got a wetsuit borrowed. It was good that we had a fleece and rain jacket, cap and headband with us, as it was quite cold and windy in between but they also have blankets on board. The crew is super nice and everything is thought of. We particularly liked the fact that they take the protection of animals seriously. We saw bottlenose dolphins right at the beginning, then some schools of the smaller common dolphins. Also a flying fish, a small penguin and a hammerhead shark. Swimming with the dolphins didn't work as it can't be done when the dolphins are hunting or having babies but it was still quite great. Finally we met a group of pilot whales, what an experience😍. I will not forget this day in my entire life and would definitely recommend a trip with the Dolphin Seafaris 100%. Many thanks to Lizzy, Vincent and Dior and of course to the great captain!

  • Unbelievable dolphin cruise!

    As a dolphin cruise, this was amazing. We dangled our feet off the bow and boated alongside them as they swam and jumped and played all around us! It was magical. I even touched one with my foot! Definitely the best dolphin sighting of my life. The guides said one of the pods was about 90 dolphins and the other was about 250! There were just so many swimming so close, I had never seen anything like it before. Unbelievable. As a dolphin swim, it was a bit disappointing (at least to Mom). We thought we were going to be able to jump in and freely swim with the dolphins, but even if we were allowed to, we would have only been permitted to hold onto the back of the boat and put our heads in the water to see them as it pulled us. When I learned that that was all we could do, I wasn’t as sad as my Mom not to be able to “swim” with them. Because, even though we found two HUGE pods of dolphins, we weren’t allowed in the water because there were babies present (NZ law).
