Specializing in the marine biodiversity of this rich region, Encounter Kaikoura offers the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins in the open sea, including the rare "dark dolphins. After watching an introductory video, a shuttle bus will take you to the boat, which will leave for the open sea in search of the many mammals still present in the area. All equipment is provided (wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel) as well as a small snack. During this unique experience, several swims are planned.

Un moment magique! Nager avec une vingtaine de dauphins tres joueurs, a presque pouvoir les toucher. Equipements fournis, rien a redire. Fortement conseillé pour des souvenirs grandioses.

It is the only company to Kaikoura which offers to swim with dolphins or simply as of observing them during a cruise. If you want to swim with dolphins, I advise you to reserve several days in advance because it is much in demand activity! I did not organise myself enough, and I could not swim with dolphins but only to watch them. And it was magical! The boat was surrounded by hundreds of dolphins (more than 200 according to the guide), which swam, sellado, played around the boat and swimmers. Just exceptional. In addition the staff very pleasant and smiling, and the towers are really very well organised. Do not hesitate, it is a beautiful day that await you!

Plusieurs petits groupes sont lâchés à plusieurs reprises au milieu des bancs de centaine de dauphins curieux et joueurs. Les combinaisons épaisses permettent de flôter et de ne pas avoir froid dans l’eau. Après au moins 4 rencontres avec les cétacés, vous serez appelés à remonter à bord pour les observer en sirotant un petit chocolat chaud. Le staff est tes sympa et l’organisation très bien huilée. Bref, une demie-journée inoubliable.
