Kaikoura swimming with dolphins

The most amazing trip ever. Slightly scary as the cyclone that had hit the  coromandel over night was meant to be heading down the east coast towards Kaikoura during at some stage and there was a severe seasickness warning and risk of not being able to swim. However we got out before the worst  of it and managed to swim with 200 wild dusky dolphins. AMAZING!!!!!

Ok....so it was slightly grey due to the storm and I didn't capture a dolphin properly doing a somersult but I will blame that on the fact that we were too busy in the water swimming!

Killer Whales! Possibly the best bit - because they are not local and are spotted once a month and never follow the boat so closely - especially with the little calfs. There were loads of them but the dont pop up for long!!

Now back at the Wigley's before we head over to Aus so have time to load up some more pictures. Not quite in the right order but these are the best so had to put them up first.
