Kaikoura is a marine animal lovers wet dream (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun). There are seals, whales, dolphins, and penguins in abundance. We opted for Dolphin Encounter. The first part involved a speed boat dropping us in the middle of a pod of dolphins. We were told to dive, swim in circles, and make ridiculous squeaking noises to attract the dolphins. Tons of them swam by – often within a foot. Once they passed, we would load up in the boat again and give chase. At one point, we were dropped off in a pod of 400 dolphins. The second part involved us watching the dolphins from the boat – where I snapped these photos. We saw a seal too.
