Albatross Encounter Tours run bird watching cruises from Kaikoura. These cruises are ideal for bird watchers who want to see ocean-going birds such as mollymawks, petrels and the mighty albatross. You often also see dolphins, seals and whales on these cruises.
The two-hour albatross cruises cost $125 and you often need to book a few days in advance to ensure space on the boat.
