Experience Kaikoura's most spectacular marine scenic flight with the region's most experienced flight operator!
From the comfort of your window seat, witness the awe-inspiring beauty of whales, dolphins, and breathtaking scenery. 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. While we can't guarantee wildlife sightings as we're observing animals in their natural habitat, we boast an impressive 95% success rate and always provide honest assessments of the day's chances for whale sightings.
Our Scenic Whale Watching Flight offers you the best odds of spotting these magnificent creatures from the air, and we offer a 100% refund in case of unfavorable weather conditions.

值得一看
非常棒的體驗！那天的天氣好，我們的運氣也好，共看到三隻鯨魚，雖然飛在上空無法太靠近，所以顯得牠們小小的，但可以看到完整的身影，還是很讓人興奮的！ 看完鯨魚後，回程能飽覽Kaikoura 的風景，整趟旅程為很愉快的飛行經驗，推薦大家可以試試！

很棒的体验。
挺不错的，本来预定的是两点，但因为他们提前发现了鲸鱼，就一直联系我们，主动帮我调整时间 叫我们可以最大可能看到鲸鱼。驾驶员也是个很热情的妹子，讲解的也很清楚。总之体验很棒，下次再来还会参加。

不再相信看不鲸，可以退费！
网站预定时，明明写得看不到鲸会退费所以才选了nook me 预定。飞行那天明明下雨而且是小到中雨，结果还起飞了，一是担心回程没有时间，二是认为飞行员经验丰富。但遗憾的是没有看到鲸，机长写了回程可以免费乘坐，但第二天写邮件给book me要求退费，回复收到的邮件是机长说:可以再免费乘坐，但不退费。这就像国内说:商实踢皮球一样，总之消费者已花了钱，已帮助协商，但乘运人不同意，就退不了。我曾经是旅游从业人员，也是第一次碰到这样的事，以后我不会推荐任何朋友或客人用book me,因为你们就是在”钓鱼”推销，但不诚信。我们是从北岛开车去的，回程船票是固定时间，怎么可能有时间再选择坐一次飞机？对book me 很失望。

超級值得！
係呢40分鐘既旅程 我地睇到殺人鯨、海豚同抹香鯨！ 我坐呢間公司 佢地既員工好眼利同專業 我地係最快搵到抹香鯨既小型飛機 由頭睇到落尾！ 同埋當我地睇到抹香鯨時 我先見架觀光船係遠一遠到駛過黎 已經錯過左好幾分鐘 我覺得坐呢個小型飛機比坐船更值得 而且可以睇得到抹香鯨同其他生物對比既分別
