Whale Watching by Helicopter
| A spectacular marine playground exists off the coast of Kaikoura and living in this environment is the mighty Sperm Whale. It is here that resident bachelors dive to immense depths in search of Giant Squid, so accessible to Sperm whales but still elusive to mankind.
Visitors are drawn to Kaikoura by the ability to view these magnificent mammals in their own environment 12 months of the year and Kaikoura Helicopters gives you the opportunity to do so in an exhilarating, comfortable and affordable manner.
As New Zealand’s most experienced aerial whale-watching company, we can have you in the whale-watching area within five minutes. Our informative pilots provide full in-flight commentary and your safety and comfort is paramount when flying with us.

| In today’s times, vast numbers of visitors come to Kaikoura to experience natural beauty at its best. If you have small children, are elderly, have a disability or simply suffer from sea-sickness you do not need to miss out on this “once in a lifetime” experience.
We cater for those with a love of flying, those who are pushed for time and those who simply wish to whale-watch in a truly unforgettable manner.
Whale-watch with a birds eye view.
From head to tail, see the whole whale with Kaikoura Helicopters.
