Fantastic!!!
A truly memorable experience, would highly recommend. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and all the staff really friendly and helpful. We saw three sperm whales which our pilot said was unusual for them all to be swimming so near to each other. Also saw a huge pod of dolphins as well as some seals and albatross. Great views of the coastline around Kaikoura. Thanks Air Kaikoura!!!

Highly recommended
Our pilot Austin was excellent. Very professional. Whale watching, unlike a zoo, is no guarantee to see an animal but after no spotting and running out of time, he flew over to see 300 Dolphins and going over our allotted 30 mins we spotted a whale. Which if we were on a boat then we may not have seen it and spend a long time on the water. Highly recommend.

Best experience!
My booking was set earlier so I got a call and all worked out really well. Booked 30 min flights and it took a while until a we could see a whale so we flew a bit longer. nice staff, felt safe during the flight, totally worth it
