What people say
Alannah Marchais
"THE absolute must do in Kaikourā ! Sperm whales all year long, humpback whales (june- august), Blue whales, pilot whales, southern right whales, dolphins, orcas, seals, marine birds… The list is endless ! Kaikoura is one of the best spot in the southern hemisphere for marine life sightings. Despite the price of a boat tour (>150$ p/person), it certainly is the activity you do not want to miss out on! 🐋🐬🦭 (Morning only, except for one afternoon tour during summer)"

"In Kaikoura, New Zealand’s vessel-based whale watching company offers close-up encounters to these magnificent mammals. You can see the Giant Sperm Whale enjoying its days in his natural habitat at all times of the year."

"The only whale watch company in Kaikoura. $315 NZD for 2. Just 30 minutes on the water and we saw our first whale!"
