July Sightings - 25 July 2011


July was a great month here in Kaikoura, with fantastic sightings and some lovely weather too. Those of you what were in the area on the 27th of July would have been lucky enough to enjoy the snow which settled around the Kaikoura Township, a spectacular and rare occasion for us.

Tutu one of our resident Sperm Whales was seen on most of our tours this month. Tutu got his name from tutumairekurai which is the Maori word for Hector Dolphin.

Passengers who travelled with us on the 7th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 29th and 30th also had the opportunity to see a Humpback whale on their tour.

As well as all the whale activity this month, we were also able to see dusky dolphins, hectors dolphins, NZ fur seals and many different species of marine birds including the wandering albatross.Thank you for taking the time to read this months sightings update.
