About

See one of the ocean's giants on a small-group day tour from Christchurch to Kaikōura, capped at eight guests, where the Southern Alps meet the Pacific. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so you never need to drive. You follow the scenic coast north past fur seal colonies, then board a purpose-built catamaran in search of the resident giant sperm whales that live here year-round, along with dusky dolphins, fur seals, albatross and, in season, migrating humpback and orca; the operator works responsibly. A fresh seaside lunch is included. Cruises depend on sea conditions. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and an expert guide. Maximum eight guests.
