Descripción

The geography with the Kaikōura Canyon close to the coastal waters creates an upwelling of nutrient-rich waters that support large numbers of animals from krill, to fish, to marine mammals and seabirds. A pelagic tour gives you the opportunity to see several species of albatross from the gigantic Northern Royal Albatross to the smaller, beautiful Buller's Albatross, many different petrels such as Cape Petrel and White-chinned Petrel, shearwaters including Short-tailed Shearwater and the locally endemic Hutton's Shearwater, Fairy Prion, and more.
