Whale Watching in Kaikoura






This was so cool! We went out on a boat to see some Sperm Whales off the East coast of NZ. There is this special area where an incredibly deep ocean canyon exists. The currents create the perfect feeding ground for whales and lots of sea life. The male sperm whales in this area live here for 40 years before they ever leave to mate! We got to see Tiaki and Little Nick, plus a big group of dusky dolphins (over 150). It was incredible to see them in the open water. The dolphins were swimming all around and under our boat. It was so neat.
