Highlights
Whale Watch is located in the small coastal town of Kaikōura on the East Coast of New Zealand’s South Island a scenic two and a half-hour drive north from Christchurch and two hour drive south from Picton. Kaikōura is a special place of lush pastures and towering, snow covered peaks that fall to the sea. This rare magic continues just offshore where a deep undersea canyon combines with unusual sea currents to attract an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being the Giant Sperm Whale. Whale Watch is New Zealand's only vessel-based whale watching company offering visitors an exciting up-close encounter with the world’s largest toothed predator the Giant Sperm Whale in their natural environment at all times of the year.

5Juvenile Humpback
Amazing day. Juvenile humpback hung around our boat for about 30 minutes… very special
5Splendid experience...
Splendid experience watching whales & dolphins. Tour guide was informative and allows plenty of time for photo shots.
4whale watching experience
We had a great time in Kaikoura, what a beautiful place, enjoyed the whale watching very much and loved the funny tour guide. The only thing I did not think was right was that for extra pay you got a private area on the boat that was cordoned off for the rest of us. Couldn't believe that that was a thing on a whale watching tour, definitely takes away from the camaraderie you get from finding and experiencing seeing the whales together

About Kaikōura
Kaikōura is a small town on the east coast of the South Island, where mountains meet the sea and whales, dolphins and seals live close to shore.
Kaikōura sits on a peninsula on the east coast of the South Island, with the snow-capped Seaward Kaikōura Range rising almost straight from the shore. The name means meal of crayfish in Māori, and crayfish, or rock lobster, have long been the town's trade. A deep submarine canyon comes close to the coast, so that sperm whales feed offshore all year, and a walkway round the peninsula gives views of seals, seabirds and the mountains.
