We spotted this incredible dolphin last week. He has been given the name 'Fingers' due to the unique markings on his dorsal fin, which most likely came from a shark attack. Fingers is one of the most highly distinctive dolphins in the NZ Whale & Dolphin Trust ID catalogue.

At Akaroa Dolphins, we recognise that we have an obligation to our unique and special environment, and are committed to caring for Akaroa harbour. It is vital that our activities have a positive impact on the environment for now, and for future generations.

When you do the Harbour Nature Cruise with Akaroa Dolphins rest assured your comfort and wellbeing is a priority for the crew onboard. As part of the trip, you will be offered a complimentary drink, where one of the options is a glass of Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc.
