Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Optional Departure Train
Guest User2025-12-28
The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!
Reviews: Kaikoura: 1-Hour Whale Watching Helicopter Tour

The tour was great, but I would have preferred to spend the entire tour spotting whales instead of flying up the mountain and landing there. The name of the tour is a one-hour whale-watching tour.

We loved it all but especially the special arrival of a pod of dolphins. Rob our guide was great and very knowledgeable. Thank you.
