Reviews: Christchurch Departure Kaikoura 1-Day Tour with Optional Whale Watching Cruise, Kayaking Experience, and Dolphin Encounter
Guest User2025-12-28
The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!
Reviews: Kaikoura: Whale Watching Cruise
Guest User2026-03-02
What an incredible experience! We were very fortunate to see sperm whales, orcas, dolphins and so much more on this amazing trip. Whale Watch Kaikōura went out of their way to accommodate us when it looked as though bad weather would cause our afternoon trip to be cancelled and squeezed us on to an earlier sailing. The crew were fantastic and it was apparent how much respect they have for the environment and the wildlife we saw. My wife was thrilled to get a shout out from the captain for spotting one of the sperm whales! The whole experience was very enjoyable and it was extremely emotional to see these beautiful creatures close up. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough - it’s an absolute must do if you’re visiting Kaikōura. A real highlight of our visit to New Zealand.

Seemed a lot of money at first, then you realise it’s actually good value considering the amount of work and people involved to make it all happen. The customer service by the Nevis bungy team is excellent too.

The route was well planned, with interesting stops. The only thing I didn't like was that the guide and driver were the same person. At times, it was difficult for him to both drive and tell the story, even though he tried. The bus was large, but we managed to see everything, but we didn't get much information.
