Many of our guests tell us one of the highlights of their trips was getting up close to the playful dusky dolphins along the Kaikoura Peninsula. These dolphins are totally wild and it's their choice whether they interact with us or not, however, these dusky dolphins are well-known for their interactive behaviour as well as their acrobatic feats and usually love to put on a show for us. Whether you opt to get in the water or watch from the boat, it’s a unique New Zealand experience!

Have you met the dusky dolphins in Kaikoura?
