Reviews: Christchurch Departure: Kaikoura 1-Day Tour with Optional Whale Watching Cruise and Dolphin Encounters
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: Whale Watching Cruise

Great whale watching trip!!! Billy, the main guide, was excellent at keeping everyone informed and spotting wildlife. The whole experience was smooth and really well run. In one morning, we saw a sperm whale, a humpback whale, Hector’s dolphins, dusky dolphins, and several albatross species. Definitely worth doing and I’d highly recommend it.
Reviews: Kaikoura: Sunset Evening Kayaking Tour

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.
