KAIKOURA, New Zealand “Whale Watching Experience at Kaikoura” Tourists are taken on a high speed catamaran to watch Giant Sperm Whales in their natural habitat off the coast of Kaikoura. The boat ride from the jetty may take up to 30 minutes and along the way, the vessel moves like a cradle , and even motion sickness pills may not work when the waves are high. Locating the whales is just a start to this awesome experience, and once sighted, the mummer of excitement transcends into a frenzy of cameras and video cams trying to record the amazing scene while being thrown all over the catamaran by the strong waves. The climax of the “show” is when the whale dives into the water before it appears a few seconds later, but this time showing only its tail as it is pointed proudly to the sky, as if to wave goodbye. A memorable experience indeed Principles Of Programme Planning & Design Whale says “Goodbye” 132
