Meet Wild Whales & Dolphins in the Hauraki Gulf
Embark on a special eco-cruise from Auckland, exploring the beautiful Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
Board the 65-foot catamaran, the Dolphin Explorer, and sail past iconic Auckland coastal landmarks like Devonport, North Head, and Rangitoto Island into the open sea. As you cruise in search of whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, you'll also get to admire the diverse seabirds and the stunning natural beauty of the Hauraki Gulf.
