Reviews: Christchurch Departure Kaikoura Day Tour with Optional Whale Watching Cruise, Kayaking Experience, and Dolphin Viewing
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!

Incredible experience the guides were fantastic. Felt safe and they provided some good knowledge on each location of the zip lines.
Reviews: Kaikoura: Whale Watching Flight with Guided Commentary

Had a great fly over a sperm whale. Small plane so everyone was seated at a window and they made sure to rotate the passes so everyone got a great look. I had my infant in my lap and they had the appropriate seatbelt, ear protection and life jacket for him so we felt very safe. Great experience and I didn’t have to miss whale watching (can’t take babies on the boats). Lovely hot drink machine and water in the lounge area you can use before and after your flight. Even had a changing table for my baby in the bathroom!

An amazing trip. Well organised from the time we arrived at the office. Thorough safety briefing and led by pleasant, approachable and knowledgeable guides who clearly love their job and their local environment. Thoroughly recommended.
