Dolphin Encounter was the first NZ company to take visitors
swimming with the dolphins commercially. This tour has the highest
success rate of actually locating and swimming with dolphins than
anywhere in NZ and we visit pods of between 100-1000 dolphins! We
visit the most acrobatic dolphin in the world - the dusky
dolphin.
