Fantastic
The booking was easy - no fuss, cheap - well worth the $$. The day was beautiful as we had looked at met service, we were still so lucky with the weather. The pilot was reassuring, informative, pleasant, humourous, capable and you could see he enjoyed his job and really liked and cared about what he was up to. The whales came out for us, I believe we were lucky but they seemed like they had a good technique of sharing there info with other companies so everyone got to feel value. We saw a humpback pod of two teenages, a baby and two adults and a sperm whale (WOW), as well as two seals out playing. We were thrilled with our experience and the great trip we had. Thank you and please know we have been and will keep recommending you to people we know and meet in Wanaka where we live. :)

Amazing experience for whale watching. We are so lucky to watching 4 whales at the same time. Thanks Captain!

Amazing flight
Everyone at Air Kaikoura aero club was very friendly and welcoming, Jack our pilot was very knowledgeable and we actually saw 1 sperm whale, that stayed on the surface for ages so we got lots of photos, then we also saw 2 hump back whales as well, we missed the orcas, but it was still an amazing flight. I would happily recommend this company.

Fantastic
Pilot was great, very communicative and helpful. We saw a huge sperm whale and watched it for about 15mins. Better than going on a whale watching boat! Great experience.
