While you are in New Zealand head over to Kaikoura and go whale watching...by aeroplane! Whale watching by aeroplane is the best way to view these stunning creatures as well as views of the mountains.
In a typical 30 minute flight you will see the majestic Sperm Whale preparing for his next dive and up to 500 Dusky Dolphins playfully swimming. Occasional sightings include Southern Right, Humpback, Fin, Sei, Brydes, Southern Bottlenose and Blue Whales. Other less frequent visitors to the area include Common, Hectors, Risso's and Southern Right Whale Dolphins and Orca.
Flying over Kaikoura Peninsula, you can see evidence of Maori fortifications (Pa Sites), the township of Kaikoura and New Zealand Fur Seals relaxing on the rocks. During favourable conditions, passengers can enjoy a spectacular flight over the 2800m high seaward Kaikoura Ranges.
After your flight relax in the log terminal or have a drink in the upstairs lounge looking over the sea and local mountains. Mementos of your whale watching experience can be purchased at the gift shop.
