Reviews: Kaikoura Whale Watch Day Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-09-21
As this is a weather and nature/wildlife dependent activity, there is never a 100% guarantee that you will see whales. So, do approach with an open mind. The alternative nature tour offered was equally rewarding. We got to watch several dolphin pods playing, swimming near the catamaran and jumping off the waters, seals, several varieties of sea birds, albatrosses running on the water’s edge to take flight and so on. So, I still had a fun day.★

Reviews: Seattle Open-top Double-decker Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour
Guest User2025-09-19
Basically, you can take a quick look at the streets of Seattle. If you need to have a deeper look, you may not have enough time because the intervals are long and there are no cars after 4:00 pm.Trip.com Picks
