Wings Over Whales | Kaikoura Whale Watching

Professional staff help ease everyone's anxiety. They were kind and gentle with me (I am overweight and worried the seatbelt wouldn't do up).They were also kind with those just anxious about flying in general.Unforgettable experience

This is an amazing experience. We were meant to do a boat trip but it got cancelled and this was so much better! The plane on its own is an experience, the pilot was great and so friendly. She spent time making sure everyone was happy with what they saw and we had a great time. I would just recommend a travel sickness tablet before because I felt quite nauseous with the tight turns.

Wow, every aspect was so well planned and executed. From the check in, introduction and safety briefing to the flight experience. We felt so welcomed and safe and a lot excited. The pilots ensured every passenger had a perfect view of the whale who made an appearance and the dolphins too. Such an amazing perspective of these majestic animals.

We had such an amazing experience, thanks to Mike! We was so helpful and knowledgeable. Being in a plane in Kaikoura is incredible with the mountains and the ocean and dozens of dolphins, but we were worried we wouldn’t get to see a whale as the minutes ticked by. But Mike didn’t turn back after 30 minutes had expired- he kept on trying to find one for us. At last, we found a sperm whale, with some dolphins for size comparison! It was an unforgettable experience- thank you so much!!!

In fact, it was a tour that we chose as the next best option because our ship was canceled. But our choice had no regrets. We were able to see the magnificent scenery of Kaikoura as well as large whales and dolphins. My family will never forget that time. The staff were as kind as they could have been and did their best to show us more.

Everyone at Wings over Whales was so friendly and helpful. Monique was lovely and picked me up and dropped me off before and after the flight. Emily was a great pilot and answered all my whale questions. I would definitely fly with them again.

The breathtaking views from high above the ocean are absolutely stunning, and the feeling of soaring through the skies is truly exhilarating.From the moment step onto the aircraft, we are greeted by friendly and professional staff who go out of their way to ensure that we have a safe and enjoyable flight. The pilot is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights and information about the area's geography and wildlife throughout the flight.Even though the whales were elusive on our flight, the sights we did see were still breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters, rugged coastlines, and dramatic mountains are simply awe-inspiring. We feel as though we are in another world, far removed from the stresses of daily life.Overall, our experience with Wings Over Whale was simply outstanding. The company's commitment to safety and customer satisfaction is evident in every aspect of the experience, and the sheer beauty of the sights we saw will stay with us for a lifetime. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time flyer, Wings Over Whale is an experience not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Staff were friendly esp pilot Kurt (if I spelled the name correctly). Unfortunately we did not get to see any whales so the flight ended in less than 30 mins. Saw a pod of dolphins though!
