Whale Watching

2 hours

As a Maori-owned company, Whale Watch Kaikoura cherishes the twin values of hospitality (manakitanga) to visitors and reverence (whakaute) for the natural world. It is a philosophy that embraces people, the land, the sea and all living things as one (Ki Uta Ki Tai) from the mountains to sea and everything in between. The company is indispensable to the development of the town as a sustainable tourism destination, and continually provides sponsorship to local schools, community groups and sports clubs, as well as contributing to marine mammal research in the area. Designed especially for whale watching, your catamaran is equipped with engines that minimize underwater noise and non-polluting restrooms. The main passenger cabin is enclosed and the outside decks offer great viewing and photo opportunities. Watch the large plasma screens displaying an award-winning marine wildlife animation that reveals Kaikoura's hidden wildlife wonders. Discover how a sperm whale survives in the dark and very cold depths of the Kaikoura Trench, and why the green-eyed Plunket shark is easy prey for a giant squid. Whale Watch is New Zealand's only marine-based whale-watching g company offering the possibility of an exciting up-close encounter with the world's largest toothed predator -- the giant sperm whale -- in its natural environment. Every outing is different, and the sightings vary. Sperm whales – if you are lucky enough to see one – are the stars of the show. These are year-round residents. A typical whale watch outing may include an encounter with New Zealand fur seals, pods of dusky dolphins, and the endangered wandering albatross.
