  Our experience was 11/10. Our pilot was so knowledgeable of the local marine life and we saw so many whales/dolphins. I think we had a rare day as we saw sperm whale, orcas, blue whales, dusky dolphins and hectors dolphins in one go! Our pilot made sure we got to see as much as we could by giving us the option to either do the landing in the mountains or staying out over the sea (which we opted for). We felt so safe our entire flight and the scenery was so beautiful even if you don’t get to see any wildlife. Highly recommend booking with this crew, they’re the best!!

• Highly recommended!

  We booked the helicopter flight to finish off our New Zealand trip and were thrilled. As the mountain landing was not possible due to persistent clouds, we spent more time over the sea and saw various dolphins and whales. The team was very nice and the communication was consistently positive.

  It’s absolutely worth going to Kaikoura to do this whale watching flight. Our guide was great and made the trip very enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the whales and the surrounding areas. We did see a couple pods of dolphins which was cool, but we got a little unlucky with the whale because it stayed under longer than usual. We chose to go land on a mountain instead and it was so worth it. The pilot gave us the option so had we rather stayed out to watch for the whale he would have let us. We landed on an area where we were totally surrounded by mountains. It was one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been, and he didn’t make us feel rushed allowing us to take plenty of pictures and videos of the beautiful views. It was an awesome experience.

  Seeing sperm whales up close and then hitting the summit of a snow-capped mountain within minutes captures what is excellent about visiting New Zealand. Our pilot was very polite and helpful and really made sure my seven year old daughter loved our trip.

  … it has been a remarkable experience. Aron - our pilot - was an amazing guy! He explained us the whole whale biology. It was for all of us the first time flying on a helicopter and we felt perfectly save at all times!

  We had an amazing sunny afternoon flight with Aaron. Thanks to Aaron’s flexibility we started an afternoon earlier to use the incredible weather. Spotted a Sperm Whale, a huge group of dolphins and seals sleeping on the coastal rocks. Great experience, thank you so much for this excellent whale experience :)

  We thoroughly enjoyed a top n tail tour. We saw a sperm whale and some lovely scenery in the mountains including a lot of deer. We did this ride with a 3 year old, who loved every minute of it. Our pilot Aaron was super friendly and gave commentary along the way so we new what we were looking for/at. I highly recommend doing this helicopter ride in Kaikoura, seeing the massive sperm whale then the stunning mountain scenery is a must.
