Whale Watch Kaikoura is one of New Zealand’s top wildlife experiences, offering the chance to see majestic marine life up close. Located in Kaikoura on the South Island, this tour is famous for its year-round sightings of sperm whales, which are drawn to the nutrient-rich waters along the Kaikoura coast.

In addition to sperm whales, you may also spot humpback whales, orcas, dusky dolphins, New Zealand fur seals, and a variety of seabirds, including the royal albatross. The tour is led by knowledgeable guides who provide insight into the marine ecosystem and whale behaviors.

Kaikoura’s unique deep-sea canyon makes it one of the few places where whales are seen so close to shore, making Whale Watch Kaikoura a must-do for nature lovers. Tours operate year-round, with winter offering calm seas for clearer sightings.
