We'll commence a comfortable and scenic journey from Christchurch, lasting approximately 2.5 to 3 hours one way. The route will lead you through the North Canterbury region of the South Island, ultimately arriving in Kaikoura, one of New Zealand's foremost whale-watching destinations. Kaikoura is internationally renowned for its whale-watching excursions, particularly the opportunity to observe sperm whales. In addition to the whale-watching experience, there is the option to embark on a brief coastal walk to view seals basking on the rocks, as well as a short scenic stroll through the forested areas along the river. You may also enjoy the picturesque sight of dolphins in the ocean. Upon boarding your boat, you will be accompanied by expert guides who will provide in-depth commentary on the town's whaling history and highlight the region's rich marine life throughout your Kaikoura whale-watching cruise.
