Experience the magic of a wild dolphin encounter on this 5-hour tour!
Highlights
- Experience the magic of watching dolphins in their natural habitat
- Get up close views of other marine life such as whales, seals and penguins
- Spacious and comfortable catamaran
- Swim with the dolphins - conditions permitting
- 95% dolphin sighting success rate!
This is the trip of a lifetime for nature and animal lovers! Get up close to magnificent dolphins, whales and seals on board our state of the art catamaran.
Enjoy watching huge pods of common dolphins as they play and swim in their natural environment from the spacious deck. Our experienced wildlife guides have a wealth of knowledge and will ensure a fun and informative tour.
Our trips are highly successful with dolphins being spotted 95% of the time and we offer a "Dolphin Guarantee" which allows you a return trip for free on another day if there were no sightings.
The Bay of Plenty is home to a spectacular array of marine life and we often see orca whales, fur seals, blue penguins and albatross during the winter months..
You may get the opportunity to swim with the dolphins but this cannot be guaranteed due to regulations by the Department of Conservation. We swim with them about 85% of the time when it is legal and ethical to do so. We always respect the dolphins space but as they are naturally curious they do like to come and say hello. Wetsuits and snorkelling equipment will be provided.
Book today to secure your spot on this not to be missed tour!

Hervorragend
Die Delfintour war perfekt organisiert, sehr freundliches Personal und kleine Gruppe von 10 Personen. Es wurde für Snacks und Getränke gesorgt ohne Aufpreis! Spitze :) würde ich sofort wieder machen

Amazing!
We had a wonderful trip with Dolphin Seafaris! The weather was beautiful and we got to see three big pods of dolphins. One pod even stayed with us for nearly an hour! The care was fantastic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Amazing!
We had such a great day out on the water. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, the boat was clean and comfortable. We saw dolphins and orca! The only negative and it was not any fault of the company obviously but the 5 hours felt very long when all the action was at the start and then we saw nothing for the rest of the trip

Highlight des Urlaubs
Wir hatten bedenken, ob man wirklich mit Delfinen schwimmen kann und es für uns entspannt wird, obwohl wir ein Baby dabei hatten. Zu Beidem ein klares JA! Die Crew ist unglaublich und hat diesen Tag für uns zu einem Highlight gemacht. Tausend Dank dafür!
