New Zealand Holiday - Whale watching holidays

Several different species of whale can be seen off Kaikoura at different times of the year, but almost always the huge Sperm Whales. Flukes lifting clear at the start of the deep dive, adolescent male Sperm Whales enjoy the rich diet of the Kaikoura waters while building up their strength to move to the mating grounds of the warm north. Regularly diving to depths of o­ne kilometre, Sperm Whales have been known to dive to 3 kilometres, holding their breath for up to two hours - perhaps gulping down a few groper or wrestling with a giant squid. The clean sharp fin of the Orca is often sighted in Kaikoura, and schools of Pilot Whales are occasional visitors.  And everywhere the fun loving Dusky Dolphin.  Fur seals, o­nce almost hunted to extinction are now plentiful here, resting o­n warm rocks after a nights fishing.  Seabirds, also enjoying the rich sea harvest, are abundant
