The Kaikōura Ultimate Adventure is an incredible experience capturing the best of Kaikōura’s magnificent vistas of coastal shores, picturesque landscapes, majestic mountain ranges and diverse marine wildlife in a thrilling way only a helicopter can.
This tour begins by heading out over the Kaikōura Whale Sanctuary and Hikurangi Marine Reserve to view the incredible wildlife found in Kaikōura’s waters. Experience the magnificent Sperm whale, which can be found here year-round. Your position from the comfort of our state-of-the-art helicopters allows for incredible viewing and photography opportunities where you can see the entire whale and witness behaviours of the animals you couldn’t see any other way. You can also spot the resident Dusky dolphins and New Zealand fur seals delighting in their marine playground.
After viewing the abundant marine life, your trip takes you north along the rugged Kaikōura coastline. During this trip you can see the incredible changes from the 2016 earthquake that occurred in Kaikōura. All of this is seen with Kaikōura’s incredible backdrop mountains and oceans.
Head into the Seaward Kaikōura Mountains for a landing at the turquoise waters of Hapuku Lake, which was created during the earthquake, then fly to the tops of the peaks for a second landing overlooking the ranges, Kaikōura Peninsula, and the Pacific Ocean. This position offers 360 degree views of incredible scenery,
