Lucky again - whale watching in Kaikoura

After the 3 wonderful days spend at Lake Tekapo I took the bus to Kaikōura, which is supposed to be the ideal place in July to spot some whales 🐋! I spend three nights in Kaikōura and really enjoyed this place! On the first day I walk the whole Kaikōura peninsula to spot some seals and just had a great time going for hikes in the sunshine! Yes, again the weather was in my favor! It was just beautiful! The day after I had booked a whale watching tour with whole watch kaikoura! And again I was incredibly lucky. I saw on that tour 8 sperm whales and soo many dolphins. Wow! Even the tour company said this has been the best day for spotting whales in a long long time and it has not happens since years.. usually they only see 1-3 on one tour!
Feeling so incredibly blessed to start my trip with the emperor penguins and end the trip with so many sperm whales! It was just a breathtaking experience and I loved it. Kaikoura overall and with everyone that I met there has been a perfect ending to my trip and it came back full circle since I met a woman in my hostel that had also done the Antarctica trip too! :) Ready to go home now and share these amazing experiences with my family!もっと詳しく
