Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup
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: Kaikōura: Kayak Sunset Tour with Seal Sightings

Really friendly and informative guide. Told us a lot about the nature and wildlife in Kaikoura and gave us local restaurant recommendations and things to do. The kayaks were amazing, so easy to use! We saw lots of seals and some absolutely stunning views. I'm so glad we booked this tour, it has encouraged us to come back in future!!
