At Akaroa Dolphins, we believe that meaningful tourism should be welcoming, respectful, and accessible to everyone. 

Akaroa Dolphins Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Mission Statement

Akaroa Dolphins is committed to creating a just, inclusive, and culturally respectful tourism experience that reflects Aotearoa New Zealand’s bicultural foundations and supports diversity in all its forms.

We aim to foster a workplace and visitor experience where all people feel welcomed, respected, and valued, regardless of background, identity, ability, or culture. We recognise the importance of Te Ao Māori and the relationship of mana whenua with the natural environment of Akaroa Harbour, and we strive to honour this through respectful engagement and storytelling.

As a small team, we are committed to fair and inclusive employment practices, respectful communication, and creating an environment where staff and guests feel safe and supported. We also seek to contribute positively to our community by welcoming diverse visitors and supporting local partnerships.

Through these commitments, Akaroa Dolphins aims to ensure that our operations reflect the principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in both our workplace and the experiences we provide.
