An extended option of our Classic Whale Watch, this flight gives you more time above Kaikōura’s unique deep-sea canyon, searching for whales and other

migrating marine life!

The longer flight time allows us to search further offshore in the deeper waters, not only for the Sperm Whales but also for any migrating baleen whales such as the Humpback, Blue and Fin Whales, as they travel between their feeding grounds in Antarctica and the warm waters of the South Pacific.  

On the way back to the beachfront heli pads keep an eye out for pods of our resident playful Dusky Dolphins, the NZ Fur Seals basking along the rocks and the small Hector Dolphins swimming along the coastline.

Approx. 40 minutes flight

Minimum per person fares are required for flights to depart or why not choose to private charter the helicopter to yourselves.

Infants aged 0 to 2 years old  fly free of charge and are seated on a paying adults lap.

Project Jonah has pioneered whale rescue techniques, and has shared this technology and expertise with the rest of the world. Kaikōura Helicopters actively support Project Jonah with funding and welcome our guests to have the option to donate when paying for their helicopter trip.
