About

See the giants of Kaikōura from the air on a private day tour from Christchurch, exclusively for your group, built around a Wings over Whales scenic flight. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so no one needs to drive. You follow the scenic coast north past fur seal colonies, with the Southern Alps rising from the Pacific, then take to the air on a light-aircraft flight that searches the deep offshore canyon for resident giant sperm whales, with a high success rate and panoramic views of whales, coastline and mountains. A wonderful option if you would rather not be on the water. A fresh seaside lunch is included. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and a premium private vehicle with your own guide.
