    Jude our driver and tour guide was excellent. The Boat Crew was wonderful, boat was clean and we were successful in finding the magnificent Sperm whale, Moby. We also encountered a lot of Duskies. A wonderful time spent on the ocean!!

    We booked this and it was amazing! Our trip guide, Pete, was absolutely INCREDIBLE and really made the drive up and back enjoyable. The whale watching park was great as well. We saw dophi s, albatross and a sperm whale. We would definitely recommend for others.

  • Watch whales do backflips from up close

    How often do you get to witness whales breaching out of the water, showing off their acrobatic flips? At Kaikoura, this epic display of marine life is practically a daily occurrence! Your guided day trip starts on a comfy, AC coach ride from your hotel in Christchurch. Don't worry about snoozing through the 2.5-hour journey – a friendly, English-speaking guide will keep things lively with tales of Kaikoura's whaling history, its fascinating Maori tribes, and the incredible creatures that call this coastline home. Keep your cameras charged because the gorgeous countryside of North Canterbury is perfect for capturing those Insta-worthy moments.

    Top off your trip with a seal colony and winery visit

    Once you arrive in Kaikoura, you’ll be transferred to a cruise boat with a spacious deck to see the whales come up for air, in the clear Kaikoura waters. Not just whales, you'll also be treated to a spectacular display of rare dolphins and albatrosses. Depending on the season, you might also catch rare Hector's dolphins, humpback whales, or even migrating orcas. Then, hop back on the bus to visit a wild fur seal colony nestled on rocky shores with a backdrop of lush greenery. If time permits, this day trip squeezes in a visit to a North Canterbury winery, where you can tour the vineyards and savor some delicious fine wines.
