Whales & Dolphin Watch

These waters off the East Cape are home to abundant marine life - especially pods of playful Dolphins!

 Join a boat tour and you can watch or even swim with wild dolphins. This is the experience of a lifetime...

Migrating whales are often able to be seen also - especially curious Orca whales!
You may also see New Zealand Fur Seals, the world's smallest penguins, the Little Blue penguin, and magnificent ocean birds like Australasian Gannets.

A scenic 1.5 hour drive from Te Kaha Beach Resort is Whakatane, the departure point for daily Whale & Dolphin watching tours.
