Kaikoura Whale Watch won the supreme prize at the Responsible Tourism Awards in London recently, after taking top honours in the "best in a marine environment" category. The awards are described as the ‘Oscars’ of responsible tourism.

During whale watch tours, boats will also encounter New Zealand fur seals, pods of dusky dolphins and the endangered wandering albatross.

Whale Watch Kaikoura was one of 35 organisations shortlisted for the honours and among hundreds throughout the world nominated for these prestigious awards.

Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island and only 2.5 hours by car. A great way to get your bearings on Christchurch when you fly in is to take a quick guided bike tour of the city on the two hour city bike tour.
