Dolphins are some of the earth's most fascinating creatures and we are blessed with their presence all year round.

The Bay of Islands has the warmest waters in New Zealand, perfect for swimming with dolphins.

This tour includes FREE SWIM with Dolphins!

Delight in watching dolphins as they interact with us. Our staff have years of experience finding dolphins in the bay and have an intimate knowledge of their behaviour.
Our smaller purpose built vessel allows for closer interaction as you see and hear dolphins and whales from our low viewing deck and underwater microphone. This cruise is limited to 35 passengers to allow for an intimate experience for everyone. We often see Bottlenose and Common Dolphins, Baleen Whales, Orca, Seals, Fish, Penguins and other Sea and Bird Life.

Lifetime Dolphin Viewing Guarantee / Swim Free

In the unlikely event we are unsuccessful in viewing dolphins or whales on your trip, we will offer you a ‘go again for free’ voucher for another Dolphin Eco Experience (subject to availability). Swimming with Dolphins in the wild is subject to the Department of Conservations’ rules and regulations and the skipper’s discretion.
