Reviews: Kaikoura Whale Watch Day Tour from Christchurch

Guest User2024-09-21

As this is a weather and nature/wildlife dependent activity, there is never a 100% guarantee that you will see whales. So, do approach with an open mind. The alternative nature tour offered was equally rewarding. We got to watch several dolphin pods playing, swimming near the catamaran and jumping off the waters, seals, several varieties of sea birds, albatrosses running on the water’s edge to take flight and so on. So, I still had a fun day.

Great boat ride. Beautiful views. Just dress warmly, the wind is strong and cold.

Guest User2026-02-23

A three-hour hike is a bit strenuous, but not boring, and totally manageable. The guide is also funny and professional. Worth the experience.

Reviews: Queenstown Skyline cable car round-trip with 3/5/6 Luge rides option

Guest User2025-12-14

Easy to book through app. Present booking confirmation at the Skyline ticketing counter to get a ticket for the gondola and luge rides. View from the top was very nice, and luge rides was fun with 2 tracks to choose from.
