Had the most amazing experience on the 11/01/10 morning trip.

The conditions were not perfect but the crew & captain did their upmost to make this a complete & natural experience. Which is a big relief in comparison to other trips I have been on. The crew consists of mostly marine biologists with a passion for their job which is only sup past by the Captains passion & knowledge. The conditions meant that the dolphin swim was brief but exhilarating. However on return to the bay we had a magnificent encounter with a pod of Orca which we watched feeding on Sting Ray for over an hour,with one huge male touching the side of the boat at one point. After dropping the other passengers off at mt maunganui we had another fabulous encounter as followed the pod come right into the harbour under the bridge & watched the large male Orca inquisitively mirror a small sail boat for a short period. This was truly a trip of a life time.
