Join us in Kaikōura, and discover our deep cultural connection between tangata whenua and the giants of the sea. Every Whale Watch tour is a unique experience and the sightings vary. Giant S***m Whales are the stars of the show and year-round residents. A typical Whale Watch tour may encounter New Zealand Fur Seals, pods of Dusky dolphins and the endangered Wandering Albatross. Depending on the season you may also see migrating; Humpback Whales, Pilot Whales, Blue Whales, Southern Right Whales. Kaikōura often hosts Orca and is home to the world's smallest and rarest the Hector's. Kaikōura also attracts the largest concentration and variety of seabirds on mainland New Zealand including 13 species of Albatross, 14 varieties of Petrels and 7 types of Shearwater. Please note that at times images viewed on our website and social media channels have been taken with a zoom lens. Our interactions with marine mammals adhere to all regulations set in place, with these being outlined during our tours. www.whalewatch.co.nz
