Kaikoura Whale Watching
The graceful Sperm Whale off the Kaikoura Coast, South Island New Zealand.
Kaikoura is a special place of lush pastures and towering, snow covered peaks that fall to the sea. This rare magic continues just offshore where a deep undersea canyon combines with unusual sea currents to attract an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being the Sperm Whale. Also often hosts the world's largest dolphin - the Orca - and is home to the world's smallest and rarest - the Hector's. As well as attracts the largest concentration and variety of seabirds on mainland New Zealand including 13 species of Albatross, 14 varieties of Petrels and 7 types of Shearwater.
