Dolphin Sightseeing Tours
The Bay of Islands is the place to go to see dolphins and whales in New Zealand, with abundant marine life in its warm sheltered waters. Common and bottlenose dolphins are frequent visitors, as well as orca and larger migrating whales.
Our tours are licensed by New Zealand’s Department of Conservation – watch the dolphins’ playful antics from the viewing deck of a purpose-built catamaran as you cruise through the stunning scenery of the Bay of Islands on a dolphin watching tour.
