Take 4-5 hours for a fun experience on the waters, aboard a luxury power catamaran that measures 20 metres from tail to tip that is especially designed for marine viewing. The safari will take you on a scenic tour of the Auckland Harbour, as well as Haukari Gulf and visitors will be able to enjoy onboard commentary on the impressive history and culture of the region that has made it one of the best places for dolphin and whale watching in the world. The crew of the vessel has been a part of extensive scientific programmes covering the region, which makes them ideal experts to help broaden your understanding of this fascinating area. And in case you feel a little nippy, there’s a fully licensed bar and a variety of snacks available for purchase aboard the cat. Speaking of food, watch out for a feeding frenzy whales, dolphins and sea birds, or delight in a pod of dolphins playing close to the craft! So bring your cameras and be prepared for plenty of excellent photo opportunities out at sea!
