My family has always been passionate about New Zealand, especially since my mum hails from the capital After saving up, we embarked on a memorable holiday, starting with a week in her hometown Our journey took us around the country, and we unexpectedly found ourselves in Kaikoura, a charming coastal town Initially, I thought it was a bit unexciting, but I soon recalled that it’s famous for dolphin and whale sightings Kaikoura will forever hold a special place in my heart as the destination where I fulfilled my dream of swimming with wild dolphins.

On a chilly, overcast day, my family and I embarked on a dolphin trip with several others aboard a small boat As we journeyed, the sky cleared, and we sped across the waves under bright sunshine, eventually reaching our swimming destination, surprisingly over 40 km from shore Feeling cold and questioning the trip, my doubts vanished when someone excitedly exclaimed, "dolphins!"

As I gazed into the water, I was thrilled to spot over a hundred dolphins swimming towards our boat, their fins breaking the surface Many of these playful creatures leaped around us, inviting us to join in their fun Excitedly, I donned my snorkel and plunged into the sea, surrounded by a mesmerizing spectacle of dolphins in every direction.
