An exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year!
We venture offshore over a deep undersea canyon that attracts an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being the Sperm Whale.
You will be viewing from our purpose built whale watching catamarans equipped with noise minimising engines, large outside viewing decks, spacious air-conditioned interiors and comfortable seating for those colder days on the water.
Whale Watch® is New Zealand's only marine-based whale watching company offering visitors an exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year. Our 95% success rate means we guarantee an 80% refund if your tour does not see a whale. Whale Watch tours are extremely popular so we advise to book early!
Giant Sperm Whales are the stars of the show and year-round residents. Depending on the season you may see migrating Humpback Whales, Pilot Whales, Blue Whales and Southern Right Whales. Kaikoura also attracts the largest concentration and variety of seabirds on mainland New Zealand!
Whale Watch vessels are crewed by a friendly team of Skippers and Guides very experienced in interacting with the local Sperm Whales. They have expert knowledge of Kaikoura's sea conditions and are fully trained in all aspects of safety.

투어 특성 상 날씨의 영향을 많이 받는 것 같아요 날이 좋으면 고래들도 많이 나오더라구요 저는 두시간 동안 여섯마리의 향유고래를 봤어요 배가 심하게 요동치니 멀미약 꼭 드세요
I like Whale watch, as finally I have seen whales twice, but it was so quick less than 2 minutes in total and it was so far. I cannot recommend it for children. My husband very disappointed that even hasn't taken photo of it, none. As you have a choice to take a quick shot or watch the whales by your eyes half a minute. I can understand if you see smth intresting during the trip. Yeah, we have seen a couple of Orcas, but it was so far as well. But it was very good luck we have been told. I can imagine how it would be boring without it. Some people haven't seen nothing more except their seats in the cabin and white paper bags, as be aware that you can experience seasickness. I know that this is wild nature and so difficult to predict what you can see today. But would I pay this amount to repeat it, compared with other experiences, definitely no.

어메이징..
15분 지연 출발하고 초반에는 고래를 보지못해 약간 실망했습니다. 그러나 캡틴과 스탭들이 고래를 찾았고 세번에 걸쳐 고래를 볼 수 있었습니다. 경이로운 장면.. 그리고 후반부에 돌고래를 만났고 그들은 우리를 격렬히 반겨주었습니다..너무나도 놀랄운 광경.. 카이코우라 whale watch는 정말 어메이징..
