Reviews: Christchurch Departure Kaikoura Day Tour with Optional Whale Watching Cruise, Kayaking Experience, and Dolphin Viewing

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!

Unfortunately, our booked tour was cancelled due to high winds, something we only found out about at the last minute. We then put ourselves on the waiting list for the next day – and that worked out. We had an incredible tour, with three whales, a family of orcas, and dolphins. The crew was fantastic! 👍

It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.
