Whale Watching in Kaikoura is a world renown activity. In fact, the name Kaikoura has practically become synonymous with whale watching. Ironically, Kaikoura was where the mighty Sperm whale was almost hunted to extinction. Fortunately, these majestic creatures are now treasured and provide an excellent attraction and chance to get up close and personal.

Whale Watch is the only New Zealand marine-based whale watching company offering this splendid opportunity. Although the Giant Sperm Whale is resident throughout the year, we also get frequented by other whale species including:

• Pilot Whales
• Southern Right Whales
• Blue Whales
• Humpback Whales

We also are accustomed to visits by Orca, other wise known as Killer Whales, which are actually from the dolphin species. And the list goes on. Whale Watch boast a 95% success rate and in fact guarantee it or an 80% refund should you miss out on viewing any whales. Whale Watch has won countless awards for their contribution to eco-tourism. So if you have the money, it’s definitely worth checking out.
