Asked on March 29th, 2025Is there enough time to both swim with dolphins and go whale watching in Kaikoura?
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025While in Kaikoura, you will have the opportunity to choose from several optional activities including Dolphin Encounter and Whale Watching. We recommend checking with your tour leader once on tour to coordinate the timing, as it may be challenging to fit both activities on the same day.

Traveler•Written April 2025When on the tour, do you have to book excursions directly with the tour leader? I don't plan to carry much cash.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2025
Optional activities can be arranged and paid on ground with the help of your tour leader. It's usually recommended to carry cash as we cannot guarantee card payment/app payment service with all suppliers.
