Reviews: Kaikoura Whale Watching Cruise in New Zealand [Whale Watching at Sea]

Very good. Excellent.

Reviews: Kaikoura Fishing with Captain TOMO/IAN [Deep Sea Fishing & Lobster Catching]

Guest User2026-02-21

We caught lobsters and some fish fillets (the captain will process the fish and distribute them to each family). Because I get seasick, my fishing experience wasn't great, but my travel companions who don't get seasick had a blast!

Reviews: New Zealand Mount Cook Tasman Glacier/Fox Glacier/Franz Josef Glacier Helicopter Tour + Glacier Hike [Professional equipment provided, blue ice cave experience]

Guest User2026-02-23

A three-hour hike is a bit strenuous, but not boring, and totally manageable. The guide is also funny and professional. Worth the experience.

Great boat ride. Beautiful views. Just dress warmly, the wind is strong and cold.

Reviews: Auckland Dolphin and Whale Watching Eco-Safari Cruise

Guest User2026-01-20

Well organised and a fun day out. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales. We did see a pod of dolphins at the start of the journey but not much else. They were kind enough to offer us vouchers to use again, but we're fully booked out when we tried to use them a few days later. It was a wonderful day out on the boat and the crew were great. It just so happened that we were not lucky enough to see any whales.
