Hi there! My little sister is coming over from Aussie in early October and I am wondering what the likelihood of seeing Orcas at this time of year on the tour is? She is Orca obsessed and I am hoping to fulfill her dream!

Hi there, thanks for your question. While Orca are not a prime target species of ours we do see them quite often (just over 11% of trips) in October. Unfortunately it is pretty much impossible to provide a better idea of... More

Hi, i'm planning to go to auckland round 19th of may, i've read one of your answer about the best possible time to see the mammals when the watter gets colder and the probility starting to rise up. As we comming from outside the country and maybe we wont return again for the next 10 yrs (hopefully i'm wrong), and the voucherthat you'll give us as a compensate won't do anything to us. Can you give me a prediction for seeing a whale or orca on that month/day?i know its a little bit imposible to predict, but i just want to know the odds. Thanks

Hi Jacky, Thanks for your enquiry. You're absolutely correct in that unfortunately we can't predict exactly when we will (and won't) see whales. I can completely understand your request though so here you go... Our... More

Very enjoyable excursion

The four hour excursion was not only very enjoyable but informative, too. The crew was extremely friendly, with great sense of humour and more than willing to chat and share their knowledge with individual customers. We saw lots of common dolphins but, alas, no whales...More

Fun Times on the Water

The day we were going on the safari, the crew gave folks the option to reschedule since the water was rough and it would be unlikely to see many marine animals. We chose to go anyway since our schedule didn't permit us to switch days....More

Whale watching!!!!

First at all: What they promise is true. On our first day we couldn't even see one dolphin or a whale but they gave as a voucher to do it again. In the following I'm going to describe just our second time on board. Crew:...More

Amazing day out on the water!

I had a brilliant day with these guys. The captain was super informative and actually had some really interesting facts and information. We only managed to spot probably under 30 dolphins or so but they offered for us to come back another time as they...More

What an excellent experience

The weather was great. We saw lots of diving gannets. A fur seal. Penguins & lots of dolphins. The highlight was a mother whale with her calf.

Super Safari!

I took my daughter and Grandson out with me for his birthday. Thank you for accommodating us even though the online vouchers I bought expired end of July. Lots of great information and very friendly staff. Looking forward to our next (free) trip! Diane

Fantastic afternoon out with Whales, dolphins and gannets!

Fun, friendly and informative crew made it a wonderful sunny afternoon cruising round the gulf looking for marine life. Fortunate to see mother and baby Bryde's whales feeding and hundreds of common dolphins playing at our boat's bow. Boat comfortable and good space to observe...More

Had a beautiful afternoon!

Great activity to chill and spot some marine life around the Hauraki Golf for an afternoon! We've seen loads of Dolphins and get to spot one Whale. The full commentary from the captain is very interesting and the cruise between the islands is pretty cool.

Great trip and excellent crew

This was an excellent trip, which leaves very conveniently from Auckland Harbour. We saw loads of Dolphins and to top it all, a Blue Whale (yes, really - the crew were probably more excited than we were!). Above all, however, the crew were really friendly...More
