The canyon's distinct features foster a bountiful food source resulting from the convergence of warm and cold currents.

This abundance of food sustains a diverse array of marine life, including migratory species like Humpback, Southern Right, Blue, and the iconic Sperm Whales that frequent the area all year round. Delight in our extensive whale watching flight, offering the opportunity to observe the fascinating marine wildlife against the backdrop of Kaikōura's picturesque coastline. The journey extends to the magnificent Seaward Kaikōura Ranges, where you can experience an alpine landing at over 1600 meters above sea level, providing panoramic views.
