Wings Over Whales

While you are in New Zealand head for Kaikoura and go whale watching, by aeroplane!  It's the only way to view whales and mountains, while in New Zealand.
In a typical 30 minute flight you will see the majestic Sperm Whale preparing for his next dive and up to 500 Dusky Dolphins cavorting with each other. On occasion sightings include Southern Right, Humpback, Fin, Sei, Brydes, Pilot, Southern Bottlenose and the mighty Blue Whales, and also Common, Hectors, Risso's and Southern Right Whale Dolphins and of course, Orca, although these are all less frequent visitors to the area.
After the flight relax in the log terminal over a light meal and drink. An upstairs lounge looks over the sea and local mountains. The gift shop offers momentos of your experience.
We provide a comfortable flight, experienced pilots giving an authoritative inflight commentary, at a reasonable cost.
Our sighting rate is in excess of 95% for Sperm Whales and a cancellation rate of less than 5%, unmatched by others!
