Encounter Kaikoura is a friendly and enthusiastic business dedicated to providing our customers with exceptional experiences!
Temporary note: Our operating base is currently closed for earthquake repairs and as a result we currently aren’t able to operate a regular schedule for our Albatross Encounter Tours (we are planning to recommence a 9am departure on a daily schedule by Spring 2020). Meanwhile, we are running tours on demand and when tours are scheduled posting deals here. If you don’t see the date you are wanting get in touch and we will see what we can do!

Spectacular trip!
We saw so much wildlife on this small-group trip. Albatross, petrels, shear waters, dolphins and seals. A fantastic morning!
