Full day trip but only saw dolphins for 10 minutes (over seven hours!).
Rest of the trip was rather boring. Too expensive for what we did!

4.5/5
Booked the 'Double Dip' combo.
The bus driver was a very energetic man who made the trip even better by singing in maori language in the rainforest.

Very professional about welfare of dolphins, didn't get to swim with dolphins which was disappointing but still a great trip.

Fabulous trip on a beautiful day in the bay of Islands.
Saw loads of Dolphins and had plenty of time in the water. Knowledgable and experienced crew who were also great fun (floppy and graham). Had excellent tour of the Bay which is a truly fabulous spot.

Dolphins, Hole in the Rock, really cool staff members.

It was very nice to cruise the Bay of Islands and it was the first time I saw dolphins.
But I think it is pretty expensive and you are pretty far away from the dolphins and there are plenty of 'Holes in the Rock' in the South Island.

Good value with the flexipass but $90 is a little bit expensive.
That being said they do guarantee dolphin sightings.
