What to Expect
Pick-up from your central city accommodation between 7:00–7:45am
Depart the city heading north through Canterbury’s rural heartland toward the coast.
Travel through rolling farmland and along dramatic coastal stretches as your guide shares insight into the landscapes and communities you pass enroute to Kaikōura– where mountains rise abruptly from the sea and marine life thrives offshore.
Join an award-winning whale watching cruise, venturing into deep offshore waters in search of the mighty resident sperm whales. The nutrient-rich marine environment often attracts dolphins, seals, seabirds, and additional whale species depending on the season.
After the cruise, enjoy free time in Kaikōura to explore the township, relax by the waterfront, or enjoy lunch at a local eatery.
Visit a nearby fur seal colony set against rugged shoreline and towering mountains—one of Kaikōura’s signature landscapes.
Return to Christchurch in the early evening after a day focused on wildlife, scenery, and New Zealand’s remarkable marine environment.
