From
Embark on an unforgettable, private tour from Christchurch, venturing through
the picturesque pastoral landscapes of North Canterbury, where rolling hills
meet the Pacific Ocean. Your destination: Kaikoura, a coastal haven where
majestic mountains kiss the sea, and nature's grandeur unfolds.
Prepare for a breathtaking aerial adventure as you take flight with Wings Over
Whales. Soar above the pristine waters of Kaikoura, home to the world's
largest toothed predator, the magnificent sperm whale. Marvel at the sheer
magnitude of these gentle giants, reaching up to 18 meters in length and
weighing up to 60 tons, as they glide through the crystal-clear depths.
Your high-winged aircraft guarantees every passenger a window seat, offering
unobstructed views of these awe-inspiring creatures. Witness their graceful
movements as they breach, dive, and interact with their environment. Keep your
eyes peeled for playful dusky dolphins, who often accompany the whales, adding
a touch of joy to the experience. With luck, you may even spot other
magnificent species, such as southern right, humpback, and pilot whales.
After your exhilarating flight, descend to earth and indulge in a delightful
café lunch, savoring the flavors of local cuisine amidst the breathtaking
backdrop of Kaikoura's coastal charm. Your journey continues with a scenic
drive to a lookout point, where panoramic vistas of the peninsula and the vast
Pacific Ocean stretch before you.
This Kaikoura experience is more than just a tour – it's a symphony of
nature's wonders, blending the thrill of flight with the awe-inspiring
presence of marine giants and the tranquility of breathtaking coastal
landscapes.
