Whale Watching Flight

Allow 30 minutes

With the shape of the peninsula reminiscent of the fluke of a whale, and the Kaikōura ranges rising up behind with their snow-capped peaks, it is here that your whale watching adventure begins.

View whales and dolphins in their natural environment

and gain an insight into their world.

Kaikōura is home to sperm whales year round, as well as a popular migratory and feeding route for many other species of whales and dolphins. From the air passengers can experience the true magnitude of the world’s largest mammal, the whale. These animals can reach an impressive 18 metres in length and weigh up to 60 tonne!

Wings Over Whales Kaikōura operate high-winged aircraft, which allows each person their own window seat and optimal, unobstructed viewing. All Kaikoura whale watching flights are carried out in accordance with Department of Conservation Marine Mammal Regulations.
