Dusky Dolphins
Pods of more than a hundred dolphins is not an uncommon sight in Kaikoura's cold water.

When they went by, you could hear them talking to each other in their own language with the occasional burst from a blow hole.


The photo at the left was taken from the air, during our 'wings over whales' tour but we've included it here to show you a dolphin swim.

We 'geared up' for a swim with the dolphins.
The water was colder than anything we recall.

A few dolphins stopped to check us out while we were in the water, for us to entertain them.
