Albatross & Seabird Watching Tour Kaikoura

Kaikoura is a well-known birding destination famous for its diverse seabirds and pelagic birdlife.

You can take a boat tour designed for this purpose, which accommodates only 12 people per trip to ensure the best chance of seeing birds up close. It takes just 15 minutes to reach the birdlife, during which you can enjoy the magnificent views of the stunning Kaikoura Coast. The tour lasts for about 2.5 hours, providing ample time to observe the majestic albatross and other species.

The onboard staff is knowledgeable, and there is an identification guide, a full species list, and a souvenir information pack to help you learn more about the birds you see. The boat also carries fishy bits to bring the birds closer, making it possible to capture great photographs.
