A whale-watch helicopter flight from Kaikoura may be your best bet for enjoying the many marine wonders that the Kaikoura area has to offer. Focused on finding the mighty sperm whales that frequent the Kaikoura Trench all year 'round, your pilot's goal is to position you for the perfect spotting by slowly circling around the whale from high above in the way that only a helicopter can. If you see a whale, you'll be able to see it in its entirety – from tip to tail. It’s the perfect opportunity to take photos.
Kaikoura lies on the migratory path of a variety of marine mammals, including blue whales, humpback whales, pilot whales, and killer whales so there’s a chance you’ll see a variety of wildlife along the way.
Next, you’ll land at an exclusive coastal landing site for panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the Kaikoura Peninsula, and the Seaward Kaikoura mountain range.
Please note:
Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
