Take a mesmerising helicopter flight and enjoy outstanding views on Sperm Whales.

Enjoy a bird's-eye view of Kaikoura's marine wonders on a mesmerizing helicopter flight with South Pacific Whale Watch!

Step a board a comfortable turbine helicopter and take off for a once in a lifetime experience. Your knowledgeable and experienced pilot will take you via Kaikoura's unique whale sanctuary on a scenic flight to deeper waters on the search for whales.

Your first spotting of a whale will be an unforgettable and exciting moment. From your aerial vantage point you will be able to see the whale in its entire beauty, from tip to tail. Your pilot will slowly orbit around the majestic mammal, to get you the perfect photo opportunity. Only a helicopter will get you that close!
