Enjoy the ultimate whale watching experience in Kaikoura with an unforgettable 30-minute scenic plane flight. Take in panoramic views of the sea from the sky and watch with anticipation and awe as you sight some whales and dolphins thriving in their natural environment.
Embark on a scenic plane flight over Kaikoura and see the true magnitude of the world's largest mammal flourishing in the ocean from the sky. Departing from Kaikoura Airport, you'll jet off and fly above the beautiful waters of Kaikoura, where you'll spot the spectacular sperm whales who call this beautiful part of New Zealand home all year round. With optimal and unobstructed viewing from your window seat, take in the magical sight of these giant creatures thriving in the water from tip to toe. You'll orbit around them and grasp how big and magnificent they really are! Make sure to look out for other species of whales and dolphins who swim through Kaikoura as part of their migratory and feeding route.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
