Reviews: Christchurch Departure Kaikoura Day Tour Optional Whale Watching Cruise, Kayaking, and Scenic Flight
Guest User2025-12-28
The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!

It was fantastic! The guides were very friendly and the atmosphere was great; they shared lots of information. Since I was traveling alone with two children, one of them could go with a guide. The guide was very patient and kept my son wonderfully entertained. Thanks again!
