Whale Watch Kaikōura

Whale Watch Kaikōura offers marine wildlife tours showcasing giant sperm whales, year-round residents of the Kaikōura Canyon. Tours operate from two vessels, Te Ao Mārama and Wheketere, with multiple daily departure times and various cabin options including Ocean Cabin and VIP Captain's Cabin experiences.

The company provides combo packages combining whale watching with other regional activities, including helicopter landing tours and scenic plane flights. They also offer gift vouchers and group activities for tamariki (children), with a specified minimum age policy for participants.

Located at Whaleway Station Road, Whale Watch Kaikōura emphasises kaitiakitanga (conservation) and Māori culture, positioning whale watching within the context of Kaikōura's rich heritage and marine environment where mountains meet the sea.
