★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 1 hour · from $792Our pick

See sperm whales, dolphins, and fur seals from above, then land on Mt Fyffe for sweeping Kaikōura and Pacific views.

“It was a fantastic tour with the pilot - sorry forgot his name. He is very good at flying and very friendly. We saw the huge whale, which is approximately the same length with the 23m boat, and heaps of dusk dolphins, and the pilot knew the whale so well and counted-down the exact time when it dived into deep water with iconic tail. The pilot also flew us to see the Kaikoura Earth-Quake fault-line, landslide and even the barrier lake. Really enjoy it. Thanks.”
