During our flight, you might also encounter dusky dolphins, humpback whales, blue whales, orca, and other fascinating marine creatures. After the exhilarating whale encounter, we'll take you on a scenic journey over Kaikoura and its stunning surroundings, with the snow-clad peaks of the Kaikoura mountains and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean as an impressive backdrop.

Amazing!
Definitely recommend it, we saw a lot of dolphins and two sperm whales. The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. I’m very happy that we’ve book a tour that is a non profitable organisation too. Thanks for the amazing experience

A five star trip
Our pilot met us and told us we needed to board promptly to maximise time with a whale. We then circled the whale for a good length of time. We also saw a pod of 500 dusky dolphins. The commentary was interesting and the plane was comfortable. The trip is not for profit so all the money goes back into the aeroclub. Absolutely would recommend.
