Known around the world as a marine 'hotspot' Kaikoura is one of the best places in New Zealand for encounters with the dusky dolphins.
This tour gives you chance to swim with these magical creatures in their natural environment or enjoy superb viewing from the boat. The dolphins are year-round residents in these waters and renowned for their their inquisitive nature and acrobatic behaviour, a trademark somersault being a favourite which is often performed over and over again. The dusky dolphin is also highly sociable and they live in pods which can number 1,000 or more.
