최고의 경험!

솔직히 별 기대하지 않고 예약하였는데, 향유고래, 흑등고래, 수십마리 돌고래때를 보고 내려온 후 흥분이 가라 앉지 않습니다. 처음 설명해주신 젊은 여성분이 파일럿일 줄이야 굉장히 나이스 하고 좋은 경험이었습니다. 경치를 보는 것 만으로도 힐링이 절로 됩니다. 강추합니다.

최고의 경험!

적극 추천합니다

bookme 사이트나 kaikoura i-sited에서 할인된 가격에 구매할 수 있습니다. 30여분간 비행으로 향유고래를 여러마리 보거나 돌고래 무리를 보기는 힘들수도 있지만 헬리콥터를 타고 카이코우라 전경을 볼 수 있기에 그 자체로도 값어치를 합니다. 고래를 보지 못한다면 환불도 받을 수 있으니 더욱 싼 가격에 전경을 구경하는 것이고요. 헬리콥터를 운전하신 파일럿을 비롯한 직원 모두 친절하였습니다. 보트보다 가까이서 향유고래를 보기는 힘들지라도 더욱 뚜렷한 고래의 모습을 볼 수 있습니다. 보트에서는 시야각으로 인해 물밖으로 나온 부분만 뚜렷이 볼 수 있지만 핼리콥터에서는 전체의 모습을 볼 수 있습니다. 시간 돈 모두 되신다면 둘다 이용하는것이 좋겠지만 그렇지 않은경우 전 헬리콥터 투어를 추천합니다.

친절하고 즐거웠던 투어!

셔틀서비스를 위해 메일을 보냈었는데, 묵었던 롯지까지 친절하게 왕복픽업서비스를 하였고, 투어 또한 따뜻하고 친절하고 즐거웠습니다. 추천합니다!!!!!

A breathtaking experience

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable team who try their very best, within the stipulated guidelines, to make the viewing of whales possible. Even if you don’t see a whale, it’s so cool to just get up in the air to watch the surrounding landscape and look down on the beautiful ocean below. And when you do see a whale, the sighting is like nothing you would’ve seen or experienced before. Well worth every penny spent.
