"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ephesians 5:1-2)

This time round in the South Island we decided to brave the cold Akaroa water to see if these wee poppets would be interested in some company and I was NOT expecting how intrigued they would be by us!  They did so many swim-bys and I could hear them chattering under the waves, it was incredible (as you can probably tell by my goober face....)

I love how much work the local tourism offices have done to get these rare dolphins more protection.  And every single swimmer contributes more money to the cause, so that these beauties can hopefully recover and thrive in their natural environment <3

We also went out to the middle of the ocean to see wild dolphins, my deep-ocean-phobic self was terrified but my wild-animal-loving self was thriving 🐬

I finally got to see them in their natural environment. One of the best days of my life and I am so thankful these wild animals graced us with their presence. I have way more footage but the video will be too long to upload so I will put that up on youtube in a little while.
