Dolphin Adventures - Swim with the Dolphins

On this the ultimate marine adventure you'll get right up close to the dolphins. Watch their antics and get fantastic photos. Conditions permitting go swimming with them.  The Bay has the warmest waters in New Zealand for swimming with dolphins.

Our staff have years of experience in the Bay and an intimate knowledge of marine mammal behaviour.  We get you to the dolphins fast in our water-jet powered catamaran. It's the best vessel in the Bay for dolphins viewing with large deck areas and plenty of room to move around. It's not just dolphins we'll show you - at times you'll see orcas, whales, seals, penguins and other wildlife.

After you Dolphin Adventure 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 on a later vessel.
