Auckland's Whale and Dolphin Safari is the ultimate chance to swim in the midst of the innocent dolphins and whales surrounded by the beauty of the breathtaking Hauraki Gulf.



Auckland's original marine safari operator, Auckland's Whale and Dolphin Safari has been permitted to allow visitors to be awed by the demonstrations and interaction between dolphins, whales and other fascinating marine creatures in their natural habitat. The safari operator ensures enthusiastic onlookers a sighting of these beautiful marine mammals. With 90% dolphin sightings and 75% whale sightings all year round, the sheer beauty of these captivating creatures will not disappoint visitors.



The safari that starts from the Explore NZ Kiosk, which is located at the centre of the Viaduct Basin in Auckland is a daily attraction open to everyone.
