Whale Watch Kaikoura

Dolphins awesome.
Saw only one whale. Commentary sound too soft too hear. Quite expensive! Children under 3 yrs not allowed.
Kia Ora Jon
Thank you for sharing about your time with us. It is a shame that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. When working with nature you never really know what you are going to see from one tour to the next. We do have an average sight rate of 1-2 whales per tour and count it a real priviledge to view these magnificent creatures in their natural environment.
It is true that we do not take children under the age of 3 for a variety of safety reasons, the nature of the experience. the speed & ride of our vessels, and the changeable conditions off our coastline. Management set this in place in conjunction with our Skippers.
Thank you once again Jon for sharing about your time with us, we hope that the rest of your time in NZ was enjoyable with many lasting memories.
