Dolphin Swimming in New ZealandDolphin Swimming in New Zealand
Nothing can quite match the feeling and bond you will enjoy when taking this unique opportunity to swim with dolphins. The activity is available commercially in Kaikoura and the Bay of Islands but these friendly characters are no strangers to the kiwi coasts and can be spotted at numerous locations. Operators place a strong focus on the environmental impact of this activity and take care to ensure swimmers don't interfere or It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and you will often find the dolphins will come back to you repeatedly to check you out. If your not keen on dipping in the water then theres great entertainment to be had from the boat watching their acrobatic flips and jumps - better than this is usually listening to swimmers attempts to communicate with the dolphins using their own series of clicks and shrieks amplified up the snorkel! Wetsuits and snorkel gear is provided on these trips so all you need is a towel, sunblock and an underwater camera if you have one!
