Kaikoura
View the mighty Sperm Whale as he rests on the surface of the ocean, catching his breath in between deep dives foraging for food. Kaikoura is also a migratory route for a variety of different whale and dolphin species such as the Humpback Whale, Blue Whale, Southern Right Whale and Orca, so we never know from flight to flight when we might spot something different! After viewing magnificent marine life, you will fly high above Kaikoura and land amongst the towering Seaward Kaikoura range. From here you will take in some of the most breath-taking views that New Zealand has to offer. (Snow Landings in winter!) With views to the west of the mountainous Seaward Kaikoura Range, east over the Kaikoura township to the iconic Kaikoura Peninsula stretching out like a whale’s fluke and south down a coastline that stretches for miles. On a clear day you can even see the North Island on the horizon!
