Spot Rare Hector’s Dolphins in the Bay
Keep your eyes on the waves—We are in a fantastic place to spot Hector’s dolphins, the smallest and rarest marine dolphins in the world. These playful and curious creatures are often seen close to shore, especially where the creek meets the sea, just a short stroll from the campsite. While sightings can happen at any time of day, calm sea conditions make them easier to spot. Bring your binoculars and camera for a chance to witness these endangered dolphins in their natural habitat. It’s a magical and memorable experience for nature lovers, families, and travellers looking to connect with New Zealand’s unique marine life.
