It was a small boat, we were only there with 10. We saw and swam with a lot of dolphins, IN-CRE-DI-BLE!!

A bit disappointing. The view under the water was really bad, so it was hard to see the dolphins. Not many dolphins at all.

The water is really cold, but we swam with dolphins so we forgot the cold really fast!!

Very nice place, cordial and well prepared staff. Little bit expensive $150, for what it is. If you want to stay and really enjoy the dolphins, just rent a kayak.

It was nice to swim with the dolphins but we searched a long time for them. The tour guide did not do any good photos.

Did not find that many dolphins, but it was good. The only bad things was $140.

Dolphin watching and swimming cruise in Akaroa - beautiful place! Unfortunately the dolphin did not decide to swim with us but the company gave us a refund. Nice!

Awesome experience, the hot chocolate after the swim was really a good idea. The only thing I don't like is that they put 'fake' dolphins in the picture.
