Good experience

工作人員很友善,出船當天有點風浪,他們確認很多遍我們在開放海域的游泳能力,因為到時候是我們自行下水玩的。設備什麼的都很好!比較讓我不解的他們不讓我們帶自己的防水包上去說太大了,給了我們很小大約5l的防水袋,說毛巾都不用帶。不過還好出船前我硬塞了一條小毛巾進防水袋,結束游泳後我才能包住頭髮不然超級冷的 我可以理解滿船的話的確不適合帶大一點的防水袋(其實也才10l)但是是當時船上客人包含我們只有四個人,其實空間很大。 會比較推薦參加不用游泳的行程就好了,因爲視野好太多了!我們遇到三隻海豚左右,他們不太願意靠近,偶爾靠近也會因爲水太濁其實看不清楚。但是海豚真的超級可愛!! 雖然有點失望,但是整體了說經驗還是好的,畢竟野生動物是不能控制的,能看到已經覺得好幸運!

45 minutes of delight

We were so incredibly lucky with the Hector dolphins being very interested and circling around and in between us for almost the full 45' in the water! Nice organisation where they take the natural dolphin behaviour into account and avoid disturbing them when they are not in social interaction but busy otherwise (e.g. feeding).

Amazing

This is one of the best attractions in nz for me. Although the weather was a bit gloomy and the sea wasn’t forgiving the team didn’t give up on finding a group of dolphins who wanted to play. We searched around 2 h. All this time we did saw the hector dolphins but couldn’t go in the water with them. At last we found a good group and jumped to the water, we saw them up close swimming all around us and had lots of fun. Bonus the crew takes your picture with them with no additional charge. Loved this experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks again
