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: From Queenstown: Milford Sound Cruise & Glass-Roof Coach Tour

We really enjoyed the bus trip there with our driver Shailendra who was very informative, insightful and fun. The cruise had some beautiful scenery despite the weather not being as good. The bus ride home was very long and quite a long day on the whole was the only downside for us but enjoyable experience on the whole.

It was a fantastic day!! We had perfect weather, and Sebastian guided us through the day in a very humorous, informative, and safe manner. From pick-up to drop-off, everything was very well organized with plenty of breaks during the drive and several stops for photos on the way there. A packed lunch was included on the boat trip! 100% recommendation!
