Did you know🧐
Dolphin's can detect sounds underwater from around 24 kms away.🐬 and have a unique signature whistle that may help individual dolphins recognize each other.

If you are in a boat low revs or idle, will help dolphins communicate with each other and maintain social skills needed to survive.

It a long road - We have been lobbing DOC and government for over 18 years to make the dolphins of the Bay of Islands a priority.
Carino Wildlife Cruises is a licensed commercial operator by DOC to view and research marine mammals in the Bay of Islands area.
By taking people out to view dolphins we are sharing our knowledge of responsible dolphin watching behavior around marine mammals and creating a space for our guests to make a difference to local wildlife.
We are fully supportive of the proposed Bay of Islands Marine Mammal sanctuary and see this as a step in the right direction to helping save a species from further declining in the Bay.
We have made the threaten species a priority over our commercial gains.
