Did you know a dolphin's blowhole is actually a single modified nostril? Unlike humans, who breathe automatically, dolphins are voluntary breathers! When they dive underwater, strong muscular flaps seal their blowhole tightly shut to keep water out. They actually have to actively contract their muscles to open it and take a breath when they surface. Pretty cool, eh?

Here's your reminder to breathe & we'll see you soon! 🙌

Our big boat is officially taking a little holiday on dry land! 🛳️✨

It’s the off-season here in the gorgeous Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, which means it’s time for our annual winter maintenance. We’ve pulled the vessel out of the water to give her some serious love, care, and a top-to-bottom polish 🛠️🧼

We do this every single year to ensure that when the warm weather rolls around, we are delivering the most reliable, comfortable, and premium wildlife cruise for your family 🙌
