After viewing the magnificent marine life, you will fly high above Kaikōura and land amongst the towering Kaikōura Seaward Ranges, where you will take in some of the most breathtaking views that New Zealand has to offer. Seasonal snow landing. Views to the west of the Seaward Kaikōura Range, to the east Kaikōura flats and the iconic Kaikōura Peninsula stretching out like a whale's fluke. See the different colours of water along the coastline where the fresh, silty water comes out of the rivers and mixes in the salty sea.
