Your Day Tour
With towering mountains, panoramic ocean views and a year-round whale and dolphin population, Kaikoura is a spectacular place and best viewed from the air. Whale watching by air offers the unique perspective of viewing the entire whale from head to tail as he breathes on the ocean’s surface. You will have your own window seat and the opportunity to clearly view and photograph Kaikoura’s marine wildlife during your 30-minute flight from the comfort of a light aircraft.
Each flight includes a briefing about the marine environment and details relating to the safety aspects of the aircraft. On a typical flight, passengers can expect to see the majestic Sperm Whale preparing for his next dive and up to 500 Dusky Dolphins cavorting with each other. Occasional sightings include Orca, Humpback, Pilot and the mighty Blue Whale.
