New Zealand Snorkeling with Dusky Dolphins, Goose Bay
KaikÅura's wild Dusky Dolphins at Goose Bay was one of our absolute highlights during the journey through New Zealand.
With the tour operator "Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura" you can book a tour. There is even the chance to snorkel with them for quite a while.

Photography Tips
Bring an underwater camera with you. An action cam like a GoPro or a DJI Action is fairly enough for fun. You also can borrow a GoPro from the tour operator.
Settings: Shot in RAW, JPG offers you a bad quality (GoPro knowledge).

Please book your tour in advance as the tours are fast sold out. You can book the snorkel trip for a once in a lifetime experience. Especially the sunrise tour is epic, if the weather is stable and clear. During your drive to the bay and especially at the bay there is a nearly 100% chance to see them in the morning.
