Be entertained by playful and acrobatic dolphins in Kaikoura. A bucket list activity and an experience you won’t forget anytime soon! Kaikoura is well-known for its mountainous scenery and rugged coastal landscapes.
In the ocean, when the northern and southern sea currents come together, it provides nutrient-rich water and a 1,200-metre deep submarine canyon. As a result, Kaikoura is home to an abundance of marine life. Not only dolphins but also whales, seals, sea lions and albatrosses can be seen.
Watch the curious dusky dolphins glide through the water. The purpose-built boat is perfect for spotting a variety of wildlife. This operator is passionate about the environment and established the Encounter Foundation in 2009.
They donate a portion of each customer’s fare to projects that result in improving the health of the natural environment through conservation, education and research. The dolphin encounter is three and a half hours in total.
