Fantastic whale watching trip
Fantastic whale watching flight - very experienced and knowledge pilots gave a very smooth trip and found sperm, humpback and blue whales for us to see.
From Kaikoura Whale Watching Flight - 40 Minutes - Community Owned & Operated
WOW! That sounds like an amazing flight!!! I am so glad you enjoyed the flight and got to see so many whale species!

Awesome! Sounds like a great flight, thanks so much for joining us to fly over beautiful Kaikoura.
Simon Yu from New Zealand wrote on 20 October 2024
a mediocre journey
The plane was too bumpy, making people dizzy, with no time to enjoy the scenery. I didn’t see any whales either. I suggest going whale watching by boat instead.
Stein Rensen from Netherlands wrote on 30 January 2026
Very Nice!
First we spotter the dolphins and than we saw the whale! Such a great experience in a small plane. Very Nice pilot too.

Overall amazing experience. Professional crew, felt really safe. Great communication. Wonderful views. Well prepared whale spotting, with a few boats scouting ahead.
