Kaikoura Whale Watch Day Trip with the Coastal Pacific Train

Spend your day getting close to nature. Travel by rail along on the Coastal Pacific Train through the rolling hill country of North Canterbury, enjoying the beauty of its rural pastoral scenes, to Kaikoura where mountains meet the sea. Kaikoura is world renowned for the variety of marine mammals which can be seen, not least of all the giant sperm whales and the acrobatic Dusky Dolphins. On your arrival in Kaikoura, you will be transferred to a whale watch tour. In the afternoon you will visit a seal colony where fur seals may be viewed at close quarters. On your return to Christchurch a stop will be made at a vineyard where a wine tasting has been arranged for your pleasure (time permitting). Hotel pick ups and drop offs are included in your tour.
