This Trip was Great!
Lots of beautiful albatross right next to the boat. Also saw seals and dolpihins. Tip: even if you've never been seasick, take sea sick meds. The sea isn't scary rough at all, but has large gentle rolling waves which caused some ppl to be unexpectedly sea sick. The guide was absolutelt fantastic. Go on this trip.

Thanks for your review and great advice on the seasickness meds - we do have quite an exposed cosastline here so it's always a good idea to take precaution if needed! Sounds like you had a magic trip! So glad you enjoyed your time aboard :-)

Awesome encounter
Very happy to have taken this tour, especially since it was a 5:45am start! We saw 3 types of albatross and many more other bird species. The captain heard on the radio that dolphins were about so he took us looking for them, which we found. I found the sea to be rough and I do suffer motion sickness, so be sure to take your motion sickness before leaving!

A great way to spend a morning!
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Gary, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made sure we got to see a variety of wildlife. We saw 3 species of Albatross, several species of Petrel and 2 species of dolphins. They all came right up to our boat so we were able to see them very well and got some great pictures. We highly recommend!

Kaikoura Albatross Tour
We really enjoyed this tour. The boat ride was fun. We saw several species of albatross up close. The boat captain was very knowledgeable.

Truly amazing!
Wow, what a trip. This is one of the best trips I have ever done, and I've done lots all around the world. Tracy, our guide was very knowledgeable about all the birds we saw. We saw so many close up; 3 different types of Albatross, Petrels, Terns, Shearwaters, Shags, Gulls and even a little Blue Penguin. As an added bonus, we saw a large pod of Dusky dolphins on our way back. I'm still smiling now, and it's 3 days later!
