DOLPHIN TRIP

Page 4 of 9
 By Paul Hannan

My family have always been huge fans of New Zealand -

my mum comes from the capital - so we saved up and
went for a holiday there. We started with a week in the
city she grew up in. After that, we toured around for a
while before ending up by chance in Kaikoura, a small
town on the coast. The first evening it seemed a rather
dull place, but the next day I remembered what I'd read
about it - that it was often possible to see dolphins and
whales there! I’ll always think of Kaikoura as the place
where I finally achieved my lifelong ambition - to swim
with wild dolphins.
My family and I set off on a dolphin trip on a cold, grey day with a number of other
people on a small boat. However, the sky soon turned blue, and we raced across the
waves in the sunshine until we finally reached the place where we were supposed to go
swimming. To my surprise, this was more than 40 km from land. I was quite cold by
this time, and really starting to wonder why my family had made me come all the way
out there, when suddenly someone shouted ‘Dolphins!’
All I could see were fins everywhere - there were more than a hundred dolphins, all
swimming towards our boat! Many of them were jumping around in the water as if
they were asking us to come and play. I put on my snorkel and jumped into the sea.
Everywhere I looked, all I could see was dolphins, swimming under me and round me.
Then I remembered the guide had told us to make sounds in the water to attract them.
So I did and actually heard them making similar sounds, as if they were trying to
answer me. I even made eye contact with one dolphin, and watched it carefully as I
swam round in a circle. Amazingly, the dolphin almost followed me, but then changed
its mind, although it kept eye contact with me all the time. It really made me realise
how intelligent and beautiful these creatures are.
Then after an hour of swimming the guides called us to get back onto the boat.
Although I had enjoyed myself, I was keen to leave the water by then as I was very
cold. As I got dry I noticed that everyone on board was smiling and I realised what a
very special moment we'd had.
I'll never forget that experience, and Kaikoura will always have a special place in my
heart.
