Nothing beats the excitement of seeing a whale in the wild! The crew made the experience so enjoyable, and they were so knowledgeable about the marine life. It was easy to book online, and I’m definitely glad I did this while I was in Auckland.

I didn’t think I’d ever get to see dolphins and a whale in the wild, but this tour made it happen. Watching the dolphins jump alongside the boat felt like something out of a movie. The crew was fantastic, sharing interesting facts while keeping the vibe light and fun. Booking was easy, and everything about the day felt relaxed yet exciting. If you love the ocean, you’ll love this.

This was such a memorable trip! The boat was super comfortable, and the marine life sightings were amazing—we saw dolphins and even a whale! The crew made it interactive and fun, which I loved. Booking through Backpacker Deals was so easy. Would absolutely do it again—10/10!

My tour was xancled due to bad weather but they were prompt in sending out notifications the day before with clear instructions on the course of actions and options available to me.
