Kaikoura - whales, dolphins or both
We will be in Kaikoura mid-March and would like to see whales and dolphins.

Is there a company that offers whale and dolphin watching in one trip? I know its chance whether we see anything or not, but all I have seen advertised has been whale watching or dolphin watching. We'd like to try and see both if possible. Any recommendations for companys to go with too would be appreciated.

Hello Twotravelbugs :)
I moved this to the Oceania forum because this is where those who have information about NZ will likely be looking.

Hi Karen and Colin,
The only one I saw that specifically mentioned the two in one go are Kaikoura Whale Watch with TranzCoastal Train from Christchurch - you may be able to join the tour in Kaikoura.
I haven't used them myself, but it's probably worth an enquiry at least.

Oops, I was sure I put it in the Oceania forum. Where did I put it? Thanks for moving it anyway. Reply to this

hi, the whale watching tour in kaikoura commonly also seems dusky dolphins as you leave or enter the bay - they are attracted to the boat and often jump and swim alongside. its not guaranteed you will see any though. if you spot no or only 1 whale they often then go in search for the dolphins anyway, hope that helps! if you have to chose i would swim with the dolphins, unless you are going to christchurch, in which case swim wtih the dolphins at akaroa Reply to this
