In a typical 30 minute
flight you will see the majestic Sperm Whale preparing for his next dive and up
to 500 Dusky Dolphins cavorting with each other. On occasion sightings include
Southern Right, Humpback, Fin, Sei, Brydes, Pilot, Southern Bottlenose and the
mighty Blue Whales, and also Common, Hectors, Risso's and Southern Right Whale
Dolphins and of course, Orca, although these are all less frequent visitors to
the area.
You may also fly over
Kaikoura Peninsula and see evidence of Maori fortifications (Pa sites), New
Zealand Fur Seals resting and the Kaikoura township itself.
For some, conditions
will allow a spectacular flight over the Seaward Kaikoura Ranges rising to
approximately 2800m.
After the flight relax
in the log terminal over a light meal and drink. An upstairs lounge looks over
the sea and local mountains. The gift shop offers momentos of your
experience.
Wings over Whales
provide a comfortable flight, experienced pilots giving an authoritative
inflight commentary, at a reasonable cost.
Wings over Whales has a sighting
rate in excess of 95% for Sperm Whales and a cancellation rate of less than 5%,
unmatched by others!
