Encounter Kaikoura Dolphin Watching NZ
On a dolphin watching trip with Encounter Kaikoura, Dusky Dolphins swim around the bow so that passengers can get a close look at these cute animals.
Whether the Dusky Dolphins off Kaikoura on the South Island of New Zealand like the display of dolphins on the side of the dolphin watching boat or whether they just like to hang around the bow and enjoy some human interaction is a guessing game. Dusky Dolphins, like most species of dolphins, love to ride in the wake of boats and when Encounter Kaikoura is out with passengers, the dolphins usually show up to play.
The waters off of Kaikoura, New Zealand are lucky enough to have these marine mammals hang around the area all year with a small change to their habits in summer and winter. Sperm Whales are another type of marine mammal that can be seen on a regular basis off the Kaikoura coast.
Encounter Kaikoura takes passengers out daily on dolphin watching tours if the demand is high enough. To see these lively mammals leap, jump and perform back flips around the New Zealand waters is spectacular especially when you know that they are in their natural environment not in an enclosed pool.
