Half Day Dolphin & Wildlife Cruise - Tauranga
Duration
5 Hour
Watch wild dolphins swim and play right beneath your feet! That is the magical, close-up encounter we specialize in. We don't just look for marine life, we actively help protect it. Every cruise features a dedicated marine biologist crew who log wildlife sightings for scientific study, giving you a deeper, hands-on understanding of our local ecosystems. Our spacious 18-metre vessel is built specifically for open-ocean comfort and exceptional stability, ensuring a relaxed journey for all ages. Enjoy spectacular 360-degree views from our open top deck, or relax out of the weather in our fully covered lower lounge. To keep your journey intimate, we purposely limit passenger numbers so you always have room to move, and you can enjoy a cold drink from our fully licensed onboard bar as you cruise the beautiful Bay of Plenty coastline. Spaces fill up quickly. Book your authentic Kiwi marine adventure online today to secure your spots on the bow!
