In addition to the Sperm Whale, a number of other species may be seen, depending on the season, as they follow their migratory route. This experience also provides the opportunity to sight New Zealand Fur Seals, Dusky Dolphins, the rare and endangered Hectors Dolphins and a wide variety of seabirds including the Royal Albatross. |
| Whale Watch is located in the town of Kaikoura - a scenic two and a half-hour drive north from Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island. Sperm Whales can be seen here all year round while 7 other whale species visit regularly. Lying hidden just offshore, the 2km deep Kaikoura Canyon is one of the world's great undersea wonders. Whale Watch has created a unique, award-winning series of animation sequences designed to reveal Kaikoura's hidden wildlife wonders - a world first for the whale watching industry. NOTE: Several tours are scheduled each day. Advance booking essential. Adverse sea conditions can cause cancellation. |
