Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari make it easy to experience the astonishingly abundant wildlife of the beautiful Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. Our 4.5 hour marine eco-safari offers guaranteed Whale and Dolphin viewing year-round, departing direct from the Viaduct Harbour in down-town Auckland. But we offer so much more than just Whale and Dolphin watching. The privilege of being the only experience of our kind permitted to operate daily within this world-class conservation area has led Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari to establish ourselves as New Zealand's only research-based marine mammal experience. Working closely with the Department of Conservation and several Universities we successfully combine up-close and personal viewing of Whales, Dolphins and sea-birds with important Marine Biology research conducted on-board. Allowing our passengers the chance to encounter, understand and above-all help protect this incredible resource of marine life.
