Reviews: Kaikoura Whale Watch Day Tour from Christchurch

Guest User2024-09-21

As this is a weather and nature/wildlife dependent activity, there is never a 100% guarantee that you will see whales. So, do approach with an open mind. The alternative nature tour offered was equally rewarding. We got to watch several dolphin pods playing, swimming near the catamaran and jumping off the waters, seals, several varieties of sea birds, albatrosses running on the water’s edge to take flight and so on. So, I still had a fun day.

Reviews: Queenstown Skyline cable car round-trip with 3/5/6 Luge rides option

Guest User2025-12-14

Easy to book through app. Present booking confirmation at the Skyline ticketing counter to get a ticket for the gondola and luge rides. View from the top was very nice, and luge rides was fun with 2 tracks to choose from.

Reviews: New Zealand Mount Cook Tasman Glacier/Fox Glacier/Franz Josef Glacier Helicopter Tour + Glacier Hike [Professional equipment provided, blue ice cave experience]

Guest User2025-09-16

The blue ice cave on this tour wasn’t quite as breathtaking as the photos online, but it was still well worth the visit

Great boat ride. Beautiful views. Just dress warmly, the wind is strong and cold.

Reviews: Auckland Dolphin and Whale Watching Eco-Safari Cruise

Guest User2026-01-20

Well organised and a fun day out. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales. We did see a pod of dolphins at the start of the journey but not much else. They were kind enough to offer us vouchers to use again, but we're fully booked out when we tried to use them a few days later. It was a wonderful day out on the boat and the crew were great. It just so happened that we were not lucky enough to see any whales.
