Possibly New Zealand’s Best Kept Secret
The Hauraki Gulf is a very special place. Its waters and islands are home to outstanding biological diversity and to those in the know, it is regarded as one of the best places in New Zealand to view marine life.

  • Join Dolphin Planet on our Dolphin Watch - Auckland! See dolphins, whales and other marine wildlife in the rich waters of Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. Possibly New Zealand’s best kept secret, the Hauraki Gulf is a very rich marine habitat. Its waters and islands are home to outstanding biological diversity and are regarded as one of the best places in New Zealand to view dolphins, whales and sea birds.

  • Whether a wildlife enthusiast or visitor to the city of Auckland, you will be impressed by the array of marine life the Hauraki Gulf has to offer. Playful pods of Common Dolphins are often spotted as well as Bryde's Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins and Orca.

  • Cruise with us in comfort through the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park on MV Dreamweaver, a comfortable, stable, high speed, well appointed 18 metre catamaran, where you will be treated to a day in the life of these special mammals.

  • Enjoy the spectacle of the Common Dolphins and Australasian Gannets foraging within the productive waters of the gulf. Marvel at the wonders of this special ecosystem, as you watch dolphins, whales and seabirds feed in unison right before your eyes. Bird enthusiasts will not be disappointed, as penguins, terns, shearwaters, and petrels are all common sights during our travels.

  • All our tours are fully narrated by experienced staff, which includes a nature guide. We are dedicated supporters of marine mammal research carried out in the Hauraki Gulf. We operate under a special permit issued by the Department of Conservation in accordance with the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1992.
