Wings over Whales Kaikoura provide whale watching and scenic flights where you are able to view the magnificent Sperm Whales off the coast of Kaikoura, New Zealand. With a year-round population of Sperm Whale, Dusky Dolphins and other visiting whale and dolphin species, Kaikoura is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular places for your whale watching experience.

A locally owned and operated company, Wings Over Whales have a professional and friendly team who are committed to passenger safety and enjoyment. Endorsed by Qualmark (New Zealand’s official tourism quality assurance organisation) passengers at Wings Over Whales can be confident of a great experience.
