Taking a trip with Wings Over Whales in Kaikoura is an unforgettable experience! For a truly extraordinary perspective on Kaikoura's incredible marine life, there's no experience quite like Kaikoura whale watching by air.

Flying above the pristine waters of the Pacific Ocean and gazing down on magnificent sperm whales, dusky dolphins, a humpback whale plus other marine species was the experience of a lifetime .. something I will remember forever. From the air, the vivid blue hues of the ocean contrast against the rugged shoreline and the towering Kaikoura range, creating such a unique perspective of this amazing part of New Zealand.

Photography info: Capturing whales by plane can be an exhilarating experience, but it also presents unique challenges due to the movement of both the plane and the whales. To get the best shots use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action and prevent motion blur. A minimum of 1/1000 should be safe. An aperture of anywhere between f7 - f11 is good and if you can keep your ISO low. A telephoto lens like a 70-200mm or 100-400mm is recommended to capture whales up close.
