| Make a date with the worlds smallest, rarest and friendliest dolphins, the Hector's dolphin only on Akaroa Harbour. We can offer you an incredible safe experience with a great dolphin guarantee.
An Unforgettable Experience
A two hour cruise, which includes ½ hour before for a full briefing, about 2 hours on the water (of which up to 45 minutes is spent with the dolphins) and ½ hour afterwards for shower and gift pack.
We provide wetsuit masks and snorkel. You only have to bring you swimming costume and a towel.
With us there are only 10 swimmers allowed per vessel, so this means that when you get into the water there is more chance for you to come face to face with the dolphins as there are less humans for them to choose.
