We got an awesome and friendly driver, our guide, Scott, for informative commentary on the way to whale watching activity. Great thanks to Scott for takiing there. Also there was a professional, informative, helpful and friendly team on board. The team tried their best to help tracing the whales and eventually the world’s largest whales, Blue Whales were viewed. Great thanks to the team for making our trip fantastic and unforgettable!

Kaikoura Whale Watching Premium Day Tour from Christchurch Reviewed by Clara, 4/26/2021

Helpful?

This experience was everything we hoped it would be and more. We saw lots of birds, many really close up. Our guide, Gary, was very knowledgeable and amazed us with immediate identification of all the birds we saw. The bonus was seeing lots of young seals on a rock and a very large pod of dolphins..We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend it.

Kaikoura: 2.5-hour Albatross Encounter and Wildlife Cruise Reviewed by Margaret, 3/21/2021

The perfect trip! Great staff, cheerful and competent. Good gear, well organised and trouble free. Our day was sunny and calm. We spotted seal without difficulty and then were recalled by a series of visits by dusky dolphin who regaled us with leaps and dives for more than 30 minutes; it was wonderful!

Kaikoura: Half-Day Seal Kayaking Guided Tour Reviewed by Tim, 2/24/2020

Helpful?

I loved this kayak trip. The scenery was amazing, and we saw some little blue penguins and lots of seals. I’m an experienced kayaker and not a fan of double kayaks. The guide was very nice and gave me his single kayak instead. I liked that he gave us a lot of information about the area and the animals.
