Kaikoura Day Tour With Dolphin Encounter From Christchurch

Kaikoura – A small coastal town overlooked by many, but a “must see” location in New Zealand. With panorama views of turquoise water and snowcapped mountains, this is one place that spells serenity. Take the tour with one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides from the Garden City to where the mountains meet the sea. Kaikoura is the best place to experience marine life encounters, coastal walks, and fantastic local food.

With this day tour to Kaikoura, you will be encouraged to relax! Kaikoura is surfer’s paradise and home to an abundance of wildlife which you will encounter as we near this town. The surrounding scenery of breathtaking bright blue Pacific Ocean in contrast with the Kaikoura Ranges allows you to take those Instagram worthy photos and experience a region like no other. With this day you will be able to spend it with another type of local – Kaikoura’s Dusky Dolphins

"The opportunity to join the tour as a watcher provides spectacular viewing of these acrobatic and energised dolphins. Their exhilerating displays of jumps, leaps, tail slapping and somersaults provide the most incredible dolphin show on earth! Watchers and swimmers travel on the same boat, so if some of you want to watch and some of you want to swim this is not a problem as you will still be together. It's fascinating to witness the interaction between swimmers and wild dolphins from above the water too. Our boats are specifically built with optimum viewing in mind and have upstairs decks as well as walk around bows to enable you to capture perfect images of your experience."
