Whale Watch Kaikoura by iammon
This of course is a must eventhough it is the most touristy thing to do. They have a huge centre (in an old train station) where you have to book your trip and register before you leave. They will take you with a bus to a harbour. They have hydrophones so they will for sure track down some whales for you. Tour will last about 4 hours. Attraction is the sperm whales as they are almost allways arround. You might see the following as well:ocras, humphback and dolphins.
They only seem to run the tours if the weather is more or less ok. So they will cancel a lot of trips and you might have to stay another day.
