Whale Watching in Kaikoura
Keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins, and whales big and small.
Overview
Kaikōura is the place to be for whale watching in New Zealand. In winter, humpback whales are particularly active, with travellers in prime position on the water to catch a glimpse.
If you're keen to test your luck, Whale Watch is the country's only vessel-based operation bringing would-be sailors up close to these magnificent creatures.
Along the way, there's also the strong possibility you'll see fur seals, dusky dolphins, and endangered wandering albatross soaring the skies.
