Do both in a day, or make an entire weekend out of your Chuffed Gift, with these two incredible Kaikoura Experiences!

Whale Watch:

Spot incredible sea creatures for yourself on this famous whale watching tour where you’ll get VIP treatment. The main focus of your tour is to locate and view the Giant Sperm Whale. This trip has a 95% success rate & averages between 1 to 2 whale sightings per tour!!

Depending on the amount of time available after viewing the sperm whales, the captain of the vessel may decide to move in along the coastline and see what other types of marine life can be encountered. This could include Dusky and Hector Dolphins and the New Zealand Fur Seal. Kaikōura is also home to around 75% of the world’s pelagic sea bird species which include Wandering and Royal Albatross, Mollymawk Albatross, Petrels, Shearwaters, Prions, Fulmars, Gannets, Terns and Herons.

This experience includes VIP access & a seat in the Captains Cabin. The Captain’s Cabin is situated in the wheelhouse alongside the captain and watch keeper. This cabin provides guests with exclusive access to the captain as they go about their duties as well as a dedicated tour host for the duration of the tour.  

Hapuku Kitchen:

The Supper Club at Hapuku Kitchen offers a unique dining experience in the home of chef Fiona Read, inspired by Kaikoura’s natural surroundings.  This three-course, set menu meal is a celebration of the seasons and everything the wild, rugged region has to offer.

At its heart, Hapuku Kitchen is focused on reconnecting the kitchen to the land and sea, celebrating the abundant larder nature has to offer – taking inspiration from the wild Kaikōura landscape. You are hosted in the home of Fiona & Chris Read, located between the soaring peaks of the Kaikōura mountains and the wild Pacific coast of Aotearoa New Zealand, for a culinary adventure that celebrates the season.

The dining table seats ten guests and while you’re savouring the flavours of Kaikoura, you’ll hear stories about how Hapuku Kitchen grow the food, how they forage from the mountains to the sea and the people behind locally sourced ingredients.
