From Kaikoura Whale Watching Flight - 30 Minutes - Community Owned & Operated
Thanks for choosing to fly with us and we appreciate your understanding of working with wild animals. While we do our best to keep track of the whale movements and diving patterns, they don't always work into our schedule and can pull out unpredictable behaviour. We are glad you still got to see our playful dusky dolphins, and enjoyed the beautiful Kaikoura views!

An amazing and worthwhile experience!
Unfortunately, our first flight had to be cancelled after 10 minutes due to sudden fog in which the pilots are not permitted to fly. However, we were offered immediately a refund or rebooking and decided to rebook and managed to got a slot on the same day. We saw lots of dolphins and a humpback whale, which we loved! Just the views of the coast were already amazing and we can recommend this 100%. The staff were lovely and we were glad we chose this experience.

Glad to hear we were still able to get you up flying over beautiful Kaikoura and we got to spot some amazing marine life! Thanks for flying with us and taking the time to leave a lovely review.

The thing you must do in kaikoura!
This was such a wonderful experience! The captain mentioned we had a good chance of spotting whales. Once we boarded the plane, we headed straight to where the boats were gathered. We first saw many dolphins joyfully leaping across the water's surface. After circling for a while, we began our search for whales. Spotting them with a propeller plane was much faster than using a boat. Then, we circled around the whale, watching it breathe and… poop! As it dove deeper, our viewing came to an end. For those prone to seasickness, I highly recommend taking the plane—you’ll suffer for a much shorter time!

Excellent operator
The staff were excellent and although we didn’t see any whales we did see a large pod of dolphins. Would definitely recommend this company
