Reviews: Whale Watching in Kaikoura by Boat

Guest User2024-06-05

One of the things we love about New-Zeeland, is the fact that wildlife is kept wild. This also means that there is a big distance with the sperm whale. Therefore it’s sometimes hard to see or imagine how big they are We encountered 4 of them. One time they were swimming with them 3 next to each other. Even the crew was exited about this. We were lucky and the sea was also pretty calm, thank god for that haha. Crew was funny and kept us entertained. Don’t forget to look back when you are outside on the boat to see the mountain range. However, if we would do it again, we probably would go on a plane tour!
