Reviews: Kaikoura 1-day tour with Christchurch round-trip, optional whale watching cruise, swimming with dolphins and albatross encounter

Guest User2025-12-28

The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!

Reviews: Kaikoura: Sunset Evening Kayaking Tour

Guest User2026-03-10

Our Sunset Kayak Tour was a lot of fun, it was more than just kayaking around the shoreline, we enjoyed seeing the large Albatross and smaller Turin birds...it was interesting to see the Fur Seals up close as they were basking on the rocks...they are larger than you link...Our Kayak guides were very personalable, knowledgeable of the marine wildlife and local surroundings and made the tour a lot of fun...I would do this tour again.

Reviews: Kaikoura: Whale Watching Flight with Guided Commentary

Guest User2026-02-06

Had a great fly over a sperm whale. Small plane so everyone was seated at a window and they made sure to rotate the passes so everyone got a great look. I had my infant in my lap and they had the appropriate seatbelt, ear protection and life jacket for him so we felt very safe. Great experience and I didn’t have to miss whale watching (can’t take babies on the boats). Lovely hot drink machine and water in the lounge area you can use before and after your flight. Even had a changing table for my baby in the bathroom!
