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!

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).
