Lift off from Christchurch and fly north to Kaikoura. This journey will take you over the rolling hills of Waipara and then out to the Pacific Coast. You will land at the Kaikoura heliport, from where you will be briefed before flying out in a specific whale watch helicopter to see the whales that this area of Canterbury is so known for. Your skilled pilots will time the flight to coincide with when the Sperm Whales are most likely to be on the surface. See the whales from head to toe as your pilot slowly orbits the whale. After the whale dives you will return to shore. You will fly south and land at one of the Waipara Valley’s premier wineries Black Estate for lunch, before flying back to Christchurch in the afternoon. *Please pay direct for lunch.
