Meet whales and dolphins in their own environment on an educational tour of marine mammal watching hotspots in New Zealand. On our private viewing vessels and with your own expert guide, we have a chance of encountering ten species of cetaceans; humpback, Bryde’s, Southern right, Minke, pilot and sperm whales, and bottlenose, common and Hector’s dolphin, orca, and two species of pinnipeds (the New Zealand fur seal and sealion). With an emphasis on education and supporting research we will take you to meet marine mammals in their own world. You will be accompanied by Dr. Ingrid N Visser, a world expert on orca, and guest lecturers around the country. In a few locations we also use local operators for our whale and dolphin viewing.
