It was a very pleasant experience. We were prepared for sea sickness, so weren’t too badly affected despite warnings for high chance of sea sickness. It was amazing to be able to see 2 different kinds of whales up close, along with some other wildlife! Perhaps would be better if they sold some snacks or sea sickness remedies on board.

We are thrilled! Top-notch! 10 out of 10! Our guide Mark is a real elf! And an incredibly cool guy. The seals are adorable.

We had such a fun experience, the 3 guides Charlotte, Angela and Aiden were all top notch super friendly and funny. We enjoyed the mini bus ride to the mountain as well as the short nature walks between ziplines during which we spotted some local fauna and flora. Safety was excellent and the 5 ziplines were all amazing with different lengths, heights and speeds. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

People usually go to Kaikoura for sea, dolphin watching swims, and various activities. Mondello Kaikoura is very friendly. The accommodation is also very close to the amenities. And although it's not 100%, if you request a late check-out in advance, they will do it for free depending on the situation~ The room condition is also good and they are very friendly. It's perfect for dolphin watching swims and late check-out!! You can wash up and leave comfortably!
