Christchurch Explore New Zealand, Australia & Fiji!
An exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year!
An exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year!
Highlights
- 95% whale viewing success rate with an 80% refund if your tour does not see a whale
- Discover Kaikoura on the water in our purpose built wildlife viewing catamaran.
- Encounter New Zealand Fur Seals, pods of Dusky Dolphins and the endangered Wandering Albatross
- Crewed by a friendly team of Skippers and Guides very experienced in interacting with the local Sperm Whales
We venture offshore over a deep undersea canyon that attracts an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being the Sperm Whale.
You will be viewing from our purpose built whale watching catamarans equipped with noise minimising engines, large outside viewing decks, spacious air-conditioned interiors and comfortable seating for those colder days on the water.
Whale Watch® is New Zealand's only marine-based whale watching company offering visitors an exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year. Our 95% success rate means we guarantee an 80% refund if your tour does not see a whale. Whale Watch tours are extremely popular so we advise to book early!
Giant Sperm Whales are the stars of the show and year-round residents. Depending on the season you may see migrating Humpback Whales, Pilot Whales, Blue Whales and Southern Right Whales. Kaikoura also attracts the largest concentration and variety of seabirds on mainland New Zealand!
Whale Watch vessels are crewed by a friendly team of Skippers and Guides very experienced in interacting with the local Sperm Whales. They have expert knowledge of Kaikoura's sea conditions and are fully trained in all aspects of safety.

出海看鲸
天气不是很理想，所以只看到了一种鲸，已经感觉很震撼了。船长和船上员工都很尽职，很好的一次出海体验。
