Wings over whales was great, the reviews don't lie! I would highly recommend them. We saw a couple of sperm whales and about 300 dolphins. The views of Kaikoura were nice too. The flight was very smooth. A must-do!

It was a shame that the wale are not out in our trip but the polite is really nice and show around the ocean and guide us around. At least we see some little dolphins. Besides, the polite told me that we can go for a free flight next time. He recommended come in winter next time when will got more wales appears.

Our journey was on the newest vessel which was amazing. Because of the Covid restrictions, numbers were limited which was in our favour as we all got amazing, unrestricted viewing. We seen two sperm whales, and Hectors dolphins along with NZ fur seals. I have a long connection with Kaikoura but have never taken a tour due to severe sea sickness, with the help of 'sealegs' and a boat that was smoother on the water we finally managed to tick something off the bucket list. Highly recommend

We had a great day. It seems we were lucky for both the weather and the show. We saw 2 Sperm whales quite quickly, then we went along the coast to see some sea lions. The weather was splendid! ☀️ In short, a great experience, even if we still don't want it anymore, we have to be satisfied with what is available to us and it was an excellent day! Thanks to Mel for his explanations and humour and to the captain for his reactivity!!

I’ve been wanting to go whale watching for years! And this didn’t disappoint. The boat is comfortable, the crew were laid back and very knowledgeable, filled me in on lots of great information and of course we we luckily to see 2 sperm whales, lots of Albertos and a small pod of dolphins to top it off! Definitely recommend

Absolutely loved it. We were privileged to see 2 whales. The first within 20 minutes. It was a beautiful day and an absolute treat. Fantastic start to our South Island holiday. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Excellent customer service from start to finish.

Lovely comfortable boat, saw 2 whales, Albatross and a huge pod of dolphins. Well worth the time & money

Amazing experience. On time, super efficient. The tour operators were amazing and had an amazing wealth of knowledge that was really interesting! I just loved the whole trip!! Well worth the money, and I will do it again. Just loved it!!

What an awesome experience!! Would highly recommend. Friendly and experienced staff. Viewing points on the boat was not limited and everyone had a prime spots. Got to see 2 types of Whales, Dolphins 🐬, birds life and Seals Great day out!! Great fun and certainly an experience. Will be coming back again.

It’s really fun when captain leads us to chase after the whales location! And a group of Dolphins pop up and hanging with us for a long time! It’s really amazing!!!

It’s a really nice experience! We enjoy the whole tour and the crew are nice too

Absoultely fantastic... we had the opportunity to see 2 sperm whales and many dolphins during our tour, but more than the whales seen, we'll remember how professionnal and funny was the crew and specially the guy who made this fantastic by its presentation during all the tour... great thanks for the memories when we'll back to France... We wish you the best for the future.

Very professional and informative staff. It is truly an amazing experience.

great day

What an excellent trip. We were a party of 11 extended family and we loved it. Even the weather came good (the rain stayed away!) The highlight was seeing a sperm whale for a reasonable length of time and moderately close. But I think the special highlight was seeing the huge numbers of Dusky dolphins all around the boat for quite some time. What amazing animals they are and so friendly. Thank you to the informative and helpful staff - an excellent commentary and awesome to see a female captain

Worth it to see the whale just in front of you. Love it.

We had the most wonderfull watch, ever. Saw 4 sperm whales, 2 of them together, and all dived so we could see their tails!

What an amazing experience !! Wonderful staff went out of their way to look after myself and my elderly mother who has mobility issues. The whales and dolphins were spectacular!!

an absolutely amazing experience seeing 4 sperm whales as well as heaps of both Dusky and Hector's dolphins. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and the boat was very comfortable.

Knowledgeable staff, great views of the whales, saw one whale, twice. Each time got to experience the tail flip which was great. Only down side is lots of waiting around at the beginning before getting on the boat but still a good 2 hours on the water. Definitely take sea sickness tablets beforehand if you're that way inclined.

It was a fantastic experience with this whale watching tour. The tour guide was great and funny. A must do in New Zealand Kaikoura!!

Really happy that I took the trip, the personnel is so kean on letting you spot as many whale tales as possible, the boat speeds between the whales and there are plenty of opportunities to spot other wild life as well.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our Whale Watching trip with 'Whale Watch Kaikoura'. Well organised from start to finish, and nothing left to chance (other than actually seeing the wildlife of course!) Luckily had beautiful weather so a smooth trip. Although busy, the boat always felt spacious and everyone could get to see everything. Great commentary from the boat crew about whales, other wildlife, birdlife and the Kaikoura area. We were graced with spotting two whales and watching them dive - awe-inspiring! Also spent time close to pods of Dusky Dolphins, and also seeing lots of other wildlife as well. Happily recommend it to anyone!

Awesome experience, seen pilot whales and pod of dusky dolphins

Professionally run with extremely friendly staff and all of the equipment needed to almost guarantee a whale sighting. We saw 2 whales (one twice) and a pod of dolphins. Would highly recommend

This tour seriously needs to be done by everyone in NZTA It was done in such a friendly professional manner from the time you enter the whale watch building to boarding the bus to the boat and back again. Very strong on safety which is a must considering how fast the boat goes. We had an awesome narrator who joked around but also answered any queries with enthusiasm. Captain and rest of the staff were also great with giving clear and concise instructions We saw a hector dolphin which is rare and dusky dolphins and two amazing sperm whales Well done Kaikoura whale watch

Unforgettable experience! The staff are so well trained and professional, lots of information from the cruise, although the weather was not great but they were lucky enough to to see two different whales! Will recommend to friends and family

I was so lucky!!!! Got to see two sperm whales, killer whales and a large pod of dolphins. Amazing!!!!!! Staff were incredible. Great morning

Staff presentation on whale knowledge was fun and informative. The surprise encounter with dolphins is a memorable experience, especially with guidance from the friendly staff on side at the deck.

An awesome experience with friendly and knowledgeable staff, very informative commentary throughout, fantastic trip thank you whale watch 🐳🐋👍

Absolutely fantastic, saw humpback and sperm whales along with extras, dolphins, sealions and albertros. Supberb day out.

Absolutely amazing. I have booked this drip twice before when traveling South Island and not times due to weather it was cancelled. I have been wanting to do this for years and so please to finally be able to do it and wasn’t let down.
