    North Head - Devonport. We visited this place with friends and loved it. Back in WW2 the New Zealand army built some tunnels on North Head which are still intact. - bring a torch and a camera for some action shots. Plus we watched another family slide down the steep hill on a cardboard box. Looked like fun.

Nice afternoon out on the sea with heaps of dolphins, but no whales! No guarantee for whales apparently, but still very informative and relaxed.

The guides were great! Very informative. The ship was very clean inside and very comfortable to ride on. It got windy, but the ride was smooth. They located 2 different types of dolphins for us to see.

At first a Whale & Dolphin in Auckland but no whales or dolphins. So we got a voucher which we could use in the Bay of Islands! Another beautiful experience!

It was a good experience, once on the boat. They had an entertaining skipper and the dolphins were a given.

Only reason for not getting a top score was a slightly chaotic payment system prior to boarding and a no show from the whales.

Good attraction! Skip Pahia!
