Your Half Day Dolphin & Wildlife Cruise begins as you’re welcomed aboard the Bay Explorer at the Tauranga waterfront!
We were absolutely fortunate to witness something truly magical! As we sailed out, two majestic orcas greeted us, and just minutes later, the captain announced he'd spotted some dolphins. In no time, they were everywhere, filling the water with their playful energy. It was a mesmerizing sight as they danced around us, creating an unforgettable moment. Huge thanks to Bay of Explorer for providing us with such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Truly incredible!
Great trip out looking for dolphins, friendly staff, knowledgable. In touch with other boaties to understand where the dolphins were. Once we saw them we stayed by for a while. Was awesome.
It was great! The Crew was lovely, had interesting Information and we were so Lucky as to be joined by a group of Dolphins for approximately an hour, playing and swimming around the boat.
It was nice to see more dolphins than I thought and they swam along our boat for a long time.

Must do attraction
I was worried because we had horrible weather prior to my booking. But the team were very helpful in sorting it out. Fantastic customer service and the boat was great. Top platform is nice and open which allows you to take beautiful videos or photos. And the views overlooking the tauranga harbor is absolutely stunning!!! Also the hit rate is above 90% so you will see dolphins for sure. Also take motion sickness tabs too. You will need it.
