Kaikoura Canyon: A Marine Life Hotspot

Kaikoura's unique underwater landscape, the Kaikoura Canyon, creates a
nutrient-rich environment that attracts an abundance of marine life. As you
cruise through these pristine waters, be prepared to witness the awe-inspiring
presence of the mighty sperm whale, the largest toothed predator on Earth.
Marvel at their sheer size and grace as they breach, dive, and reveal their
distinctive tails.

Beyond Sperm Whales: A Kaleidoscope of Marine Life

While sperm whales are the stars of the show, Kaikoura's waters are also home
to a diverse array of marine mammals. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dusky
dolphins, who often accompany the whales, their acrobatic displays adding a
touch of joy to the experience. With luck, you may also encounter other
magnificent species, such as the majestic humpback whale, the elusive southern
right whale, or the playful orca (killer whale).
