“Greatly organized with busses and comfortable boats. Do expect crowds though and ensure you take seasickness tablets just in case, you don’t want to spoil your trip! Crew is friendly and packed with humor and the scenery is amazing! We were fortunate enough to see two sperm whales a d hundreds of dolphins. Well worth the trip!”

“I still can’t believe I saw a sperm whale up close. The guides made sure we knew what to look for, and they were so enthusiastic that it felt like an adventure we were all on together. Reserving a spot was easy, and the trip felt really personal. Totally worth it.”

“Whale watching in Kaikōura is something I’ll be talking about for years. We were lucky to see two sperm whales and a pod of dolphins, and the crew made sure we didn’t miss a thing. They had such a great balance of sharing knowledge and letting us just enjoy the moment. Arranging the trip was a piece of cake, and it all felt so smooth. If you’re a nature lover, you can’t miss this.”
