Have you seen a rare white dolphin in the Sounds?
Did you know that Kupe installed a kaitiaki at the entrance of Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere to protect the area. According to Ngati Kuia tradition this kaitiaki was Kaikaiawaro, a white dolphin that appeared in times of danger to assist Kupe’s descendants.
Wendy Bramwell saw a white dolphin on July 13, 1968 -
"We were on the West side of Mana Island going to Picton when we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins, the leader was definitely this beautiful white one, they were so friendly and comforting, cavorting and splashing us as we motored through the water, they were so much fun. The yacht, the Hope, was a sloop owned by Alec Relling, it had been damaged in the Wahine Storm so we were taking it across the straits to Picton to be repaired . It had a big hole patched up in its side."
