Kaikoura Wings over Whales - Small Group Tour

Kaikoura: Where Whales Soar and Mountains Meet the Sea

Embark on an unforgettable, small-group odyssey (maximum 8 guests) from Christchurch, venturing through the picturesque pastoral landscapes of North Canterbury, where rolling hills meet the Pacific Ocean. Your destination: Kaikoura, a coastal haven where majestic mountains kiss the sea, and nature's grandeur unfolds.

Wings Over Whales: A Majestic Aerial Encounter

Prepare for a breathtaking aerial adventure as you take flight with Wings Over Whales. Soar above the pristine waters of Kaikoura, home to the world's largest toothed predator, the magnificent sperm whale. Marvel at the sheer magnitude of these gentle giants, reaching up to 18 meters in length and weighing up to 60 tons, as they glide through the crystal-clear depths.

Your high-winged aircraft guarantees every passenger a window seat, offering unobstructed views of these awe-inspiring creatures. Witness their graceful movements as they breach, dive, and interact with their environment. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dusky dolphins, who often accompany the whales, adding a touch of joy to the experience. With luck, you may even spot other magnificent species, such as southern right, humpback, and pilot whales.

Coastal Charm and Panoramic Vistas:

After your exhilarating flight, descend to earth and indulge in a delightful café lunch, savoring the flavors of local cuisine amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Kaikoura's coastal charm. Your journey continues with a scenic drive to a lookout point, where panoramic vistas of the peninsula and the vast Pacific Ocean stretch before you.
