Encounter Kaikoura

About the activity provider

The opportunity to see many albatross and wild dusky dolphins in a coastal environment as beautiful as Kaikoura is a very precious and unique experience. Kaikoura is known as one of the best places on earth to see a range of different albatross and other pelagic (seabird) species in close proximity to shore. Kaikoura is also home to semi resident wild dusky dolphins and is the place where dolphin swimming started in New Zealand and has the highest success rate for both locating and swimming with dolphins. Encounter Kaikoura operates boat based tours to encounter the incredible wildlife and also has a great cafe and retail store at their operating hub, which has spectacular views of both The Pacific Ocean and The Kaikoura Seaward Mountains. Encounter Kaikoura have a small, passionate and dedicated team working together to deliver exceptional customer experiences - make sure you add these tour options to your New Zealand itinerary!
