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.

- fsBangkok, Thailand1 contributionAmazing. Amazing. Amazing!
Steve and Beth are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The small group of people per trip made us feel safe and gave us a nice, cosy experience.
Got to swim with multiple pods of dolphins, coming right up to us. We had plenty of time in the water (40mins) with dolphins all around us at all times. There were so many! Saw other animals in their habitat such as fur seals too.
All-round, it was one of the top highlights of our trip.
Other notes:
- wetsuits are very clean and dry.
- boat is clean and safe. spacious.
- hot drinks and snacks after the swim was yum.
- part of what we paid goes into the hector dolphin reserve/research.Written 17 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As a keen conservationist I was impressed with both the knowledge and respect shown to all of he wildlife that we encountered in Akaroa Harbour. The kids absolutely loved the dolphin swim and seeing seals and little blue penguins on the way back to shore.
