Reviews:
Auckland Whale and Dolphin Safari: 5th
July 16 (Trip Advisor) “What a friendly bunch of
people…Emma and Hannah are both Marine Biology students or graduates. And everyone is
genuinely friendly, warm, and real. They are passionate about their jobs, which incorporate
much more than simply showing tourists around the Hauraki Gulf. They are also researchers
and educators on the environment itself. I've lived in Auckland more than 60 years and I
learned plenty on this trip…”

Auckland Whale and Dolphin Safari: November 26th
2016 (Email) “Hi guys.......just like to drop
you a line and say thanks to the crew members for trip on Sat (26th) just gone. My daughter
(Keira) and I had planned a whirlwind 48hr weekend trip to Auckland for her 13th birthday…
Despite the sea conditions the crew, especially the two girls in the galley, were awesome in
helping Keira (and many others) deal with her sea sickness. You really earned your $$'s that day
with care and consideration.”

happen. Highly recommend this company!”
