Fly north from Christchurch along the pristine coastline to Kaikoura, and enjoy magnificent views of the Canterbury Plains, and in the distance the spectacular Southern Alps.

Experience the true scale and majesty of whales in their natural habitat, as your pilot gently manoeuvres the helicopter to maintain the best possible view.  The sight of a whale diving is something you will never forget.   Large pods of dolphins will delight you as they play, jumping and spinning across the waves.

You will explore the unique and rugged coastline and then fly among the towering peaks of the Kaikoura Seaward Ranges. 

After your flight, you have the option of fine dining at one of Canterbury’s award-winning wineries as an optional extra.

Allow 3 hours (approx 90 minutes flight).  Minimum passenger numbers apply.
