Discover spectacular scenery while spotting majestic whales and wildlife on the most captivating flight of your life...
Fly over stunning Kaikoura and soak up incredible views of the mountains and sea, while enjoying a unique birds-eye view of fascinating whales and wildlife from the comfort of a helicopter.
We'll head out from the Kaikoura airport and fly straight over the Whale Sanctuary where you'll have the opportunity to see sperm whales, humpback whales, killer whales, southern right whales, and possibly even blue whales! You can appreciate the beauty of these magnificent creatures from top to tail as the helicopter slowly orbits above the animals giving you a unique insight into their world.
As we fly, you'll discover stunning vistas of the Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Ranges and the Kaikoura Peninsula, before we explore the coastline to look for more wildlife.
You'll enjoy a unique view of the friendly New Zealand fur seals and dusky dolphins, and if there is time permitting your pilot will take you to an amazing landing site only accessible by South Pacific Helicopters, where you can get out and appreciate first hand the incredible scenic views before you.
This is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed!
