I absolutely loved my swimming with the dolphins experience! I've always loved dolphins but swimming with them was out of this world!! They were so curious and came so close to me. Would highly recommend anyone going to NZ to make the trip to the Bay of Islands.

Adrenalin made booking my adventure so simple that I could do it at the destination using my mobile phone. The local operator they work with also deserve the utmost praise for their fantastic service and focus on making sure each individual experience is both comfortable and memorable.
