Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Adam FernNottinghamshire, UK113 contributionsMy wife had been excited to do the dolphin encounter as she had been told it was a "life changing experience" and to be honest, it isn't a bad description. They are very efficient at getting you sorted with the right kit and getting you settled on the boat. A full outfit of smiling helpful staff and they're obviously all very knowledgeable. Once at sea, we were positioned not to far away from quite literally hundreds of dolphins, who were playing and diving in the sea all around you. The staff were also stood at the back of the boat pointing the direction the dolphins were incase you had moved away from them. I think we did 5 separate swims in total. Any animal lover, experience lover or adventure lover. This has to be highly placed on your New Zealand to do list.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katie FMooloolaba, Australia158 contributionsWe spent yesterday morning swimming with the seals and enjoyed it immensely! I couldn't have had a better experience with the seals. The tour the were very carefully not to abuse the natural wildlife during the tour and explained the time before we set off (ie keep three meters away etc), except they forgot to tell the seals! These lovely creatures playfully somersault around us, looking us directly in the grave from less than a meter away. I always felt totally safe underway the expert care of Al, who was very helpful and expert.Written 25 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jgeldhofBlankenberge, Belgium2 contributionsProbably the greatest thing to do around Kaikoura. It doesn't get much better than catching your own lunch!! And Calvin (the guide) is very helpful.

- Alena K3 contributionsI had an amazing day on the boat with Zach and Haylee! Lots of dolphins playing around the boat made the drive to the divesite already an unforgettable experience. I had two wonderful dives with a lot of marine life. The team was eager to make the most out of the tour and worked hard to make everyone feel comfortoble. Can‘t wait to come back.Written 12 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
