Air Kikoura 40 minute whale watching
Fabulous experience!! Very lucky to have a glorious day. The sperm whale TeAki made an appearance- just magical! We also saw a large pod of "teenage" dolphins and the scenic flight back was stunning. Our pilot, Tim, was very knowledgeable, welcoming and fun. The ground staff were also very polite and friendly. Thanks for the great experience!! Highly recommend!!
