About

Your Experience

Set off on a 40-minute whale watching flight over Kaikoura, offering superb aerial views and the unique advantage of a guaranteed window seat for every traveller. Ideal for both wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, this flight gives you the widest possible vantage point for marine life sightings and remarkable New Zealand landscapes.

Arrival and Check-In

Upon reaching the airfield at Peketa, a professional team will welcome you for check-in and guide you through a comprehensive safety briefing. All passengers are then ushered onboard, where every seat is beside a window to ensure no one misses out on the scenery and wildlife action.

The Aerial Adventure

Take to the skies in a comfortable aircraft, soaring above the renowned Kaikoura peninsula and the expansive Pacific Ocean. This elevated perspective offers a unique glimpse into the region’s thriving marine ecosystem—keep a lookout for the mighty sperm whales, acrobatic dusky dolphins, and, if conditions allow, perhaps spot orcas or even the elusive blue whale. The extended nature of the flight, covering a variety of habitats, maximises your opportunity to witness a diversity of marine animals and Kaikoura’s rugged coastline.

Sightseeing and Wildlife

  • Guaranteed window seat: With every passenger enjoying direct access to a window, expect exceptional photo opportunities and clear views throughout the journey.

  • Wildlife highlight: Sperm whales are seen year-round, while sightings of dolphins, orcas, humpback and blue whales occur seasonally. Your pilot will provide live commentary and help spot these magnificent creatures as you scan the deep blue waters below.

  • Scenic vistas: In addition to marine life, the flight offers sweeping views of the Kaikoura Peninsula, its famous seal colonies, and the spectacular mountain ranges framing the coast. When weather allows, the landscape reveals even more of New Zealand’s unspoiled natural beauty.

Why Choose This Flight?

  • Less crowded and more comprehensive viewing than traditional boat tours

  • Efficiently covers many kilometres of ocean to find marine animals

  • Comfort-oriented, safe and professionally guided from start to finish

What Happens Afterwards?

Return to base after the 40-minute experience with new insights and memorable photos, having seen Kaikoura from an extraordinary new angle. Don’t forget to ask your crew or pilot about the animals you encountered and collect any further guidance on exploring the region.
