Passengers aboard Encounter Kaikoura spend their day on the waters off the coast of Kaikoura, NZ under sunny skies watching the Dusky Dolphins leap about. Two of the dolphins swim towards the bow of the boat, a threesome leaps about for the people while other dolphins surround the boat making this dolphin watching tour a success.
There is never any guarantees that you will spot dolphins while on a dolphin watching excursion but the success rate off the Kaikoura coast in NZ is very high. These mammals are wild and on any given day, they may decide to venture to other parts of the waters but for the majority of the year they are easily found off the Kaikoura Coast. A small lifestyle change may occur during the summer and winter months each year but nothing drastic.

Some days off the Kaikoura coast you will find groups of dolphins swimming at great speeds together, other days they will be feeding while on other occasions they will split up into smaller groups where they perform their acrobats for their captive audiences aboard the dolphin watching boats.
Often when a boat speeds by the Dusky Dolphins, they love to jump into the wake where they can play about while swimming at high speeds. They look up at you with their cute little faces from under the surface of the water when they ride the bow appearing as if they are smiling at you.
Encounter Kaikoura has daily dolphin watching excursions with the only exceptions being if the waters are too stormy and unsafe or if the passenger quota is considerably low. If the weather cooperates, passengers wanting to can also swim with these dolphins and experience an adventure of a lifetime.
