🇳🇿 Auckland | Paihia Dolphin Adventure 🐬

Spring has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere—time for adventures! If you're exploring near Auckland, don’t miss the chance to see dolphins in Paihia! 📍 Paihia Harbour 🎫 Tickets: Book discounted tours on Bookme (~$120NZD/pp). You’ll receive an email with details. 🌊 Pro tip: Bring a windproof jacket & sunglasses—the deck gets windy and sunny! 🕑 Morning tours are best for dolphin sightings (higher chances + clearer skies). The 5-hour trip includes: Scenic commentary along the way A stop at a small island with a café (burgers & fries are decent!) Snorkeling gear (included—see P17 for my slightly awkward but fun attempt 😆) ⚠️ Key reminder: Before the island stop, the guide will announce the dolphin-chasing boat departure time—don’t miss it! This is the highlight! 🐬 We almost gave up... then they appeared near Waewaetorea Island! A magical surprise. ✨ The whole journey is stunning—no boredom here! Pack your camera and sense of wonder. For an extra treat, stay overnight to enjoy sunsets and cozy pubs. 🍻 #NZTravel #AucklandAdventures #PaihiaGuide #DolphinWatching #SpringInNZ #Wanderlust
