| Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari
Whale & Dolphin Watching Guaranteed*
Every excursion on the Whale & Dolphin Safari is different but all include: - Dolphins viewed on over 90% of trips, whales viewed on 75%
- Cruise and commentary on the culture and history of Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf
- Fully licensed bar & snacks available for purchase
Considered one of the most biologically and geographically diverse marine parks in the world, 22 species of marine mammal have been identified in the Hauraki Gulf, almost 1/3 of the entire world’s population of species. You will be spellbound by the spectacle of a feeding frenzy involving sea birds, whales and dolphins or see small pods of dolphins playing around the boat. Wherever the most exciting whale and dolphin activity is, we aim to find it for you, whilst showing you some of the most significant cultural and historical parts of this amazing maritime park.
With six years of continued scientific programmes undertaken onboard, our crew are probably New Zealand’s most experienced and knowledgeable. On Auckland’s Whale and Dolphin Safari you will experience the Hauraki Gulf from the most comfortable and stable whale watching vessel in New Zealand. Our luxury 20m high speed catamaran is designed specifically for the sea conditions of this unique area.

Waiheke Island
On the rare occasion when weather makes the outer Gulf uncomfortable and we are unable to go too far out to search for whales and dolphins, we offer as an added bonus, an insightful visit and tour of Waiheke Island.
A portion of your fare contributes to marine mammal research and conservation.
