Boat tours take visitors around the Bay of Islands off the North Island of New Zealand where they can partake in an incredible experience. Passengers can disembark the boat via a large boom net where they are lowered into the ocean to swim with the Bottlenose Dolphins.
The dolphins come near to investigate while passengers prepare themselves for the close encounters, an activity which is enjoyed by both parties. This type of tour is first rate and as long as the weather cooperates and the ocean is calm, swimming with these curious, energetic marine mammals is one which is never forgotten.
