Discover the beautiful marine wildlife of the Pacific Ocean as you spot impressive whales on a helicopter tour from Kaikōura. Feel the thrill of a helicopter ride, take a scenic landing stop in the mountains, and get views of pods of whales on their migratory route.
Start by meeting your guide and getting a flight safety briefing before take-off. Set off in the helicopter from Kaikōura and marvel at the scenic panoramas over the Seaward Kaikōura Mountain Ranges, as well as the Kaikōura Peninsula and the vast Pacific Ocean.
Fly over the best spots for whale watching, and admire pods of humpback whales, southern right whales, killer whales, and even blue whales on their migratory routes. Learn all about the animals from your in-flight guide.
After the whale sightings, continue the flight along the coastline to spot more marine wildlife, including the resident populations of dusky dolphins and New Zealand fur seals. Enjoy a scenic landing in the mountains to take in the impressive landscape before returning to Kaikōura.
