“I never thought I’d be in the water with wild dolphins, but this tour made it happen. The crew’s passion for these animals really stood out—they cared about the dolphins’ well-being as much as our experience. I’ll carry this memory with me forever.”

“I had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, and Akaroa did not disappoint. The booking process was seamless, and the team made sure we were comfortable and informed. Being in the water with the Hector's dolphins, watching them glide gracefully around us, was magical. Post-swim, the hot showers and snacks were much appreciated. A day I'll cherish forever.”

“Swimming with Hector’s dolphins in Akaroa was absolutely unreal! These little guys were so curious and came right up to us—it felt like something straight out of a wildlife documentary. The crew was awesome, making sure we had all the gear and felt totally safe the whole time. I booked this through Backpacker Deals, and they made it super easy to set up. Honestly, if you’re into wildlife or just want an unforgettable experience, you’ve got to do this—it’s next-level amazing!”
