Overview

    Within minutes of taking off from our beach from helipads, you will be in the spectacular environment that plays host to one of the worlds largest marine mammals, the magnificent Sperm Whale.
    This flight allows you extra time in the whale area to view these majestic creatures of the deep. This also gives you the possibility of viewing dolphins for just a little extra.

    - A better option for when the whales are feeding further off shore or are holding their breath for longer than expected.

    - More chance to view any transient baleen whales - these whales typically spend short surface intervals (one to 4 breaths) followed by long periods under water (often 2-5 minutes), the longer flight time gives us longer wait for them.

    - Depending on the location of the Sperm whales, gives us more time to search for dolphin and /or fly along the Kaikoura southern coastline on our way back to land.

What's Included

  • Live commentary from our pilots who are flying encyclopedias on the local area.
  • Scenic helicopter excursion to view sperm whales and wildlife
  • Headset with microphone to clearly hear your commentary and ask questions on your journey
  • Unique and uninterrupted views of magnificent marine mammals from above in your luxury helicopter
  • Explore the unique and rugged Kaikoura Coastline
  • View from above Kaikoura’s deep-sea canyon while searching for a Giant Sperm Whale
