Response from Canterburyleisure, Digital Marketing Manager at Kaikoura Swim with Dolphins Tour from Christchurch
Responded 20 Mar. 2019
Thanks for the glowing review on our swim with dolphins tour. I did the tour myself several years back and it was certainly an unforgettable experience. The team that take you out on the boats are fantastic - really friendly, organised and informative. I'll be sure sure to pass on your praise to them as well as your driver for the day you travelled. Thanks again for the recommendation and I hope you get the opportunity to visit NZ again sometime soon.
