Dolphin & Whale Safari

One of the field trips we offered during the CMT'07 was a dolphin & whale safari on the Hauraki Gulf. Once again the weather was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to see Common Dolphins, Bryde's Whales, Australasian Gannets, and Little Blue Penguins. The latter were diving off so quickly that I haven't got a photo...
