Only from the air can you truly grasp the sheer size of the majestic sperm whale in its natural habitat, providing unparalleled photographic opportunities. During our flight, you might also encounter dusky dolphins, humpback whales, blue whales, orca, and other fascinating marine creatures. After the exhilarating whale encounter, we'll take you on a scenic journey over Kaikoura and its stunning surroundings, with the snow-clad peaks of the Kaikoura mountains and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean as an impressive backdrop.
At Air Kaikoura, we're a small, friendly, locally operated business with a passionate team dedicated to providing you with the experience of a lifetime.

Air Kaikoura
La dame de l'accueil est vraiment gentille et agréable ! Alex, le pilote est vraiment top ! L'avion est top ! Superbe matinée ensoleillée au-dessus des montagnes, de la péninsule et de la mer ! Déception, on a vu qu'un seul Sperm Whale :'(

Amazing wildlife
Thanks to the company, great staff, very friendly, was an amazing experience. The adventure with Austin was unreal. We met like 500 Dusky Dolphins, 2 sperm whales, 3 humpbacks! Lucky day isn't it?! Je recommande Air Kaikoura, l'équipe est aux petits soins pour vous. Nous avons eu la chance de voir 500 Dusky, 2 cachalots et 3 baleines à bosses. Austin était notre pilote, très professionnel et à la fois très amical. Nous avons passé un excellent moment! Une expérience incroyable !

Je ne recommande pas
Vol retardé d'une heure parce que 90% de chance de voir des baleines, peut etre des orques et des dauphins à ce moment là. Vu une baleine et rien d'autre et encore on a tellement mis de temps à la trouver que nous n'avons pas eu le temps de la voir plonger, donc photos qui ne rendent rien. L'équipe n'est pas responsable c'est sure mais autant ne pas retarder les gens pour rien... je pense que l'expérience est beaucoup plus appréciable en bateau... Point positif l'équipe est très sympathique et accueillante et malgré tout même si on a était déçu pour les baleines on a quand même fait un tour en avions sympatique.

Belle expérience
Nous l’avons fait en groupe de 6 amis, et nous avons tous adoré. Nous avons vu des tas de dusky dolphins jouer entre eux, et qu’un seul cachalot (spermwhales) mais c’etait magnifique à voir. Ainsi que le Fait de survoler kakouira et ses environs!
