What a very professional safe operation this is. We were so well prepared pre flight. saw 2 sperm whales and a very large pod of dolphins, plus a lovely view of the coast. Helicopter carries 3 passengers plus pilot. Really can’t recommend this trip enough.

Amazing experience! We saw a sperm whale, a group of about 200 dolphins and a seal colony. Couldn’t be any better!

We had a wonderful flight with Kiakoura Helicopters - it was one of the highlights of our trip. The pilot certainly knew his stuff - which wales were in the area and when they were likely to break surface. Couldn’t have asked for more. We both absolutely loved it and ticked two things off our bucket lists - a helicopter flight and seeing a whale in its natural surroundings. Thank you so much!
