“But the journey was horrible. specially there were 100 people with no space for people to sit. Most of the people suffer from nausea, vomiting. Overall it was not worth it.”

“The Auckland Whale and Dolphin Safari is really a must see for all fans of nature. It was a real pleasure to see the dolphins swimming alongside our boat. The crew were very knowledgable about their subject and also were patiently and willingly explaining and answering all our questions. Our Captain Andy kept us in splits with his ready wit. Overall it was a fun Safari and came to an end very soon. Thank you everyone for giving us such an amazing day.”

“Good but not great. We did see Dolphins....This is the third time I have done this, and I still think there is more they could do to make the trip more comfortable and memorable for guests...a little take home certificate maybe...or badge? It's not a cheap outing after all. Cheap ponchos for those at the front? A cup of tea ?”

“Bon moment en mer pour voir les dauphins, nombreux, autour d'Auckland. Pas de baleine en revanche. Le commandant a été tres efficace pour trouver les dauphins mais du coup ça a beaucoup secoué pendant 15 minutes environ. Attention à ceux qui ont le mal de mer ! Préparez vos sacs ! Point noir : trop de monde et donc pas assez de sièges à l'intérieur. Surtout quand le bateau va vite et que le devant du bateau est inoccupable à cause des sauts d'eau (nous avons été trempés) qui lui tombe dessus.”

“because the capital need to find Dolphins and Whales, the boat drive rotating degree. All people get boat sick, sit in the coach, close the eyes to avoid vomit. We spent money for fun, not for vomit. Even we see nothing, there is no refund.”
