Marlborough Sounds wildlife sightings: dolphins, seals, whales and birds

About the Wildlife

Showing you the wildlife our beautiful sunny region has to offer is the main focus of Dolphin Watch Ecotours. Not only is the Marlborough Sounds one of the most incredible areas in New Zealand, the nutrient-rich waters attract a wide variety of dolphins, fur seals and seabirds. You will not find a tour anywhere else in the country that offers a chance to see so many terrestrial birds and seabirds along with a variety of marine mammals against such a spectacular backdrop. Dolphin Watch is owned and operated by trained marine biologists and we take a great amount of time to train our boat crews in order to be certain they are providing the most interesting and accurate information about the wildlife and the region.
