Absolutely Amazing! - Fabulous sunny day in Kaikoura. Road trip sceneries from Christchurch to Kaikoura was spectacular. Whale watching tour was amazing. Great fish and chips for lunch at local shop. I would I highly recommend this tour for visitors. Jass was good driver. Offer us to stop most scenic places to capture pictures.

Great time spent with friends! - We pre booked whale watching tour which was well organised. Was beautiful day on cruise. Get chance to close encounters with the giant sperm whale. Also lucky to see few dolphins, seals and the wandering albatross. Our tour guide Jass was really friendly and accommodating. Overall a long day tour from Christchurch to Kaikōura was amazing. Must Recommend.

Worth to explore ocean marine life - We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic drive from Christchurch to Kaikōura. Unfortunately, the whale-watching portion of the trip—which was the primary reason I booked it—was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. However, our tour guide ensured the experience remained worthwhile by taking us to see seals and a large pod of dolphins passing through.
