Thanks for your review - stoked you enjoyed your morning aboard with us! :-)
Starting at 5:30 we took the first trip of the day and some willpower is needed to get in the 12° cold water at this time. The provided wetsuits are quite good but nothing for the feet. There was also a quite big swell which reduces the fun factor a little bit for people they can't handle this. The attraction itself, the swim with dolphins in the very clear water with very good visibility was outstanding. We met hundreds of them and could swim/interact with them 3 times. After the swim there was enough time for taking pictures of these funny animals from the boots view. We also spotted some Albatrosses during the boat ride.
Hi Stefan Thanks for your review. We prefer to say refreshing! :-) Glad you braved the cold and it was worth it and you had a great tour! :-)

Once in a life time experience
I did this tour while backpacking the South Island for two months, and it was one of the most expensive things I did on the whole trip and I don't regret a single dollar. Was absolutely phenomenal swimming with a pod of 200+ wild dolphins in a completely natural environment. The team are incredible, you are well informed before going out on the boat, all the equipment is high quality and the company is very ethical. I cant recommend enough.
