get to see many dolphins and birds! unfortunately, only able to see the air from the whale. but it was a great activity with lots of information from the staff.
This was a really awesome experience. We saw multiple dolphin pods including baby dolphins swimming with their mother. There were also lots of cormorants feeding on the fish that the dolphins had boxed in. The vessel was very nice and comfortable. Warning: you may get sea sick however the crew are very good at handling this situation. They gave us ginger candy and that actually worked well. They also have bags in case you get sick. Lucky the ginger candy worked but it was a close call for me. Note to self: don’t eat a big breakfast prior to getting on the safari cruise.
A lovely cruise with lovely guides. The speakers need to be louder, otherwise it was great!
An excellent and informative experience. Unique every time and unforgettable memories. And it supports ongoing research into the marine ecosystem it gives us a chance to witness up close. It's a win for everyone.

This was a fantastic experience. The crew was first class. We saw a whale and dolphins and a range of birds.
We had a tour scheduled for Easter Monday, which we confirmed prior with the operator that they would be operating. We arrived 1/2 hr prior to tour time, as did 3 other groups of people, and we waited and waited. Finally, after the tour was supposed to start, we all started gathering and discussing. The weather appeared to be fine, but we did hear of another operator who was cancelling due to expected bad weather. One of the guests tried calling the number on the boat with no answer. Someone else happened to pull up the website and found that they had cancelled Easter and Easter Monday sailings the day before, but not any of us had been notified by email. About 45 minutes after the scheduled start, a person from the nearby Maritime museum came over and talked to one group, telling them that the tour had been cancelled. Still no word from the operator directly, and no way of knowing if we would get our money refunded. We had so looked forward to this tour and were extremely disappointed. We did subsequently get our money refunded, but we ended up wasting over 1/2 day of our short window in Auckland. I'm guessing the tour would have been great, but surely they could do better about notifying guests who have paid money when they need to cancel.
Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. If you’re able to, please reach out to bookings@awads.co.nz with your booking details so we can investigate. Many Thanks, Madeline and the AWADS Team
This was a great experience. Auckland's harbor is beautiful. We did not see whales but saw many dolphins. The spotters/guides were very good, very knowledgeable.
Kia Ora Kathie, Thank you for your kind words! We’re so pleased to hear the crew made such a lasting impression, and we hope you picked up some new and interesting information during your time onboard with us! Many Thanks, Madeline
If you’re wondering whether you should do this tour, you should. It’s incredible. The crew is amazing and seeing the marine mammals in person and in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I went with my mom in May and we had such a great tour with Cayla, Toni, John, and Graham. We spotted at least three, possibly four different whales and dozens of dolphins and learned so much about how the whales and birds rely on dolphins to round up fish for food. To learn it and then see it in action was an unforgettable experience. I truly admire the work this tour does for marine science, public education, and running a unique NZ experience. Thanks to the whole crew!
