Kaikōura is one of the few places on earth where you can swim with these acrobatic dolphins in their natural home, often in pods of several hundred. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so you never need to drive, then you follow the scenic coast north past fur seal colonies. The operator provides a full wetsuit, mask and snorkel and a safety briefing; you slip in and the curious dolphins come to you, or watch from the boat. A fresh seaside lunch is included. For confident swimmers. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and an expert guide. Max eight guests.
