Definitely one of the best whale watching spots in Aotearoa New Zealand, but Kaikōura is also recognized internationally as one of the only spots in the world where you can easily see sperm whales from tip to tail.
Kaikōura’s rich marine wildlife also gets seasonal visitors, like Orca and Humpback whales, Blue and Finn whales as well as Southern Right and Pilot whales, delivering an amazing spectacle that is not to be missed.
Our helicopter whale watching tours do not only provide excellent and unmatched views of the ocean’s giants but also give you the great opportunity to learn and discover more about the animal’s behaviour. Observe the water creatures from above and understand their feeding, diving, and breathing patterns as well as their speed, strength, and swimming manoeuvres.
Due to the special underwater geography of the area with a large upwelling and mixing of both warm and cold currents, Kaikōura’s ocean produces an abundance of feeding opportunities for its whale residency, making it the perfect habitat for breeding and living.
