Whale Watching
Whale
watching in Kaikōura is a breathtaking experience where
visitors can witness some of the ocean's most majestic
creatures against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and
dramatic coastline. Kaikōura is uniquely positioned over a
deep underwater canyon, which brings nutrient-rich waters
close to shore, attracting a variety of marine life, including
the mighty sperm whale. A trained guide offers insights in the
behavior of whales. A whale breaking to the surface is often
accompanied by seabird circling and dolphins frolicking
nearby. When the tail emerges from the water, it is an
indication that the whale is about to dive. Both are
magnificent sights. Kaikōura's thriving marine ecosystems and
its dedication to eco-friendly tourism make it one of the
world's premier spots for whale watching. Below is the video
prepared by Whale Watch Kaikoura, which offers an overview of
this once-in-a-lifetime viewing experience.Whale Watch Kaikōura - Marine Experience in 90 Seconds
