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.

Directions

Located a 15 minute walk from the town centre we are directly next door to the White Morph Restaurant.
