Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup

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!

We actually got to see a whale 😍 The pilot was great and made sure everyone had a great view!

Reviews: Kaikoura: 1-Hour Whale Watching Helicopter Tour

Guest User2025-03-25

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.
