Overview

This blend of natural wonders and geological exploration promises an exhilarating journey. Begin with an unforgettable whale watching experience above the Hikurangi Marine Reserve. Witness the majestic sperm whales that call these waters home year-round, alongside the seasonal visitors such as Humpback and Southern Right whales.
Following the marine encounter, continue with a scenic flight over Kaikōura's breathtaking landscapes. Your pilot will guide you over the Seaward Kaikōura Mountain Ranges and along the rugged coastline, providing insights into the region's unique geology. This includes a highlight of the fault lines that were dramatically altered during the 2016 earthquake, revealing the powerful forces that continue to shape the land.
Conclude your tour with a scenic landing at a secluded spot, accessible only by helicopter. Here, you’ll have the chance to disembark and capture stunning photographs or simply savor the tranquility and beauty of this remote location.
