Eco Marine Safari in New Zealand: Swimming with the Dolphins in the Bay of Islands

Enjoy the ultimate marine adventure in the Bay of Islands and have close encounters with dolphins


Overview
The Bay of Islands is the finest Maritime Park in New Zealand, with 144 islands, secluded bays and an abundance of marine life. Dolphins are one of the earth's most fascinating creatures and few other areas are blessed with their presence all year round as is Paihia in the Bay of Islands.

On this ultimate marine adventure you get right up close to the dolphins. Watch their antics from a water-powered catamaran and get fantastic photos. Conditions permitting, don your wetsuit, slip into the warm waters of the Bay and go swimming with these fascinating creatures. The Bay has the warmest waters in New Zealand for swimming with dolphins. In addition to dolphins you'll also see whales, seals, penguins and other marine wildlife.

For wildlife enthusiasts this is the ultimate marine adventure.
