Never in the 10 years we've been operating has this guarantee ever been challenged.

Feel free to check out all the best things to do in Picton while you're at it.
What Makes a Dolphin Cruise New Zealand’s Most Special Outing?
There is something about dolphins that makes people happy, and it has a lot to do with the fact that they appear to be happy too. Dolphins are playful creatures that enjoy their own agility. They are the acrobats of the sea, demonstrating the sheer joy of being alive, and that rubs off on all who join a wildlife and dolphin cruise with us. We have been taking people to see dolphins for more than 25 years and all our guides are WCA-certified marine guides. That means they are nature lovers first and foremost, but also extremely knowledgeable and they can answer all your questions.
Is a Dolphin Cruise as Much Fun as it is Educational?
This is one of those wonderful situations where people can learn while they enjoy themselves, and the beauty of it is, that it is ideal for all age groups. Children just love being out on the water – and our no-seasickness guarantee is a testament not just to the placid nature of the sea around here but also to the design of our craft. We want everyone to have a great time and always feel comfortable.
For parents, while they enjoy the experience hugely for themselves, there is the added good feeling of seeing the youngsters happy and engaged out in the fresh air, learning, and having good, healthy fun.
Our Dolphin Watching Tours are a great outing for the whole family, but those who like getting up close with these beautiful creatures, swimming with dolphins might be a lifelong dream come true.
For seniors, a dolphin cruise in New Zealand is a relaxing, non-strenuous way to spend a few hours. Our encounter nature tours are conducted in small groups and lasting friendships are made all the time. There is free chocolate, tea, coffee and yummy biscuits, and you won’t miss anything because your experienced captain and guide will keep up an entertaining commentary, so if there is something you should get over to one side of the boat to see, you will know about it.
For everyone, it is a refreshing experience they will remember forever, and with a camera or a phone with which to capture the sights and sounds, not just of nature but of people having fun, this really is what memories are made of. We also provide FREE high-quality images on our website if you want to just embrace to moment and download our images after the tour, they are yours for FREE.
