Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An awesome experience.
This was our 2nd trip with Kaikoura Fishing Tours. And we highly recommend them.
Professional and friendly.
Well organized.
Rods are set up and baited. Caught fish removed and rod re-baited for you every time. Fish is filleted for you.
All crayfish brought on board is measured twice.
A fabulous way to spend some time fishing in Kaikoura and return home with fresh blue cod and Hapuku fillets and crayfish.

First time with this Charter Operator and proved to be very good. Not much if any Blue Cod was caught but thats just the way it is on the day. Skipper was extremely helpful as was the deck hand who also was very good. Only downside was that there was too many people fishing at any one time as lines were getting tangled frequently. Might be a good idea to control this a bit better otherwise , all good.

As a previous owner/skipper of my own Charter Fishing business, I congratulate Kaikoura Fishing Tours for doing a great job. The skipper Tommo and deckhand Rob did a stellar job.Our group consisted of my party of five plus two other tourist couples and one other. Some of the tourist were lacking a bit of skill but Rob the deckhand was on it. We caught a wide variety of fish, including some massive big Blue Cod. We helped load some bait in craypots and even had some crayfish to take home. I highly recommend Kaikoura Fishing Tours.

Mmm. This was a short trip. We seemed to spend quite some time checking the cray pots & not as much time fishing as I would have liked. Limited catch on the day we went, mostly small sea perch. My partner was the only one to catch blue cod, though to be fair, she did get the option to keep all her catch. It seemed we had one drift across a spot X on the drogue & that was it. Maybe we just chose the wrong format. The skipper & mate were great but with ten first timers aboard, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Will deffo go again, choose a different format & hope for better.

Our family of 7 ( 2 adults, 2 teens and 3 children) all went out with Kaikoura Fishing Tours on Saturday the 24th of Feb. We booked a 3 hour charter and joined the tour with 10 others on the vessel for the tour. We were warmly welcomed and felt totally supported and looked after for the duration of the trip. Tomo and his crew ( both on shore and off) clearly have their operation polished and are enthusiastic about providing everyone onboard as comfortable and enjoyable an experience as possible. We were able to catch large numbers of fish, and some sharks in addition to getting some crays up in the pots. We had great weather and took home some blue cod, tarakihi, orange fish and crays to feast upon. We thoroughly enjoyed our first family fishing on the ocean adventure and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Tomo, Anita and crew - our kids had the best time and havent stopped talking about it = Kent and Sii Johnston

Great 4 hours fishing. Tomo and Graham were so helpful and made sure we all caught fish, never too much trouble to untangle lines or help in any way. We were warned the sea was lumpy and offered refund but everyone went and had a wonderful afternoon. The crayfishing was amazing- like deadliest catch on the TV! Huge bonus to go home with as much fish as we could eat and a crayfish each.

Best fishing charter I have ever done…. Tomo (Skipper) and Rob (Decky) were awesome, put us on the fishing spot just 20 minutes from the jetty.
There was 12 fisher people on board, we caught 2 big groper and lots of blue cod…..also caught a variety of other fish.
At the end of the charter Tomo and Rob filleted the fish and divided amongst us.
We also cleared their cray pots and the crays were shared amongst us also.
Book direct with Anita and she’ll ensure you get the charter you want.
Thanks so much Guys, I’ll be back out next time I visit Kaikoura

Couple of good blokes who run the boat, always cracking jokes and keeping the chat alive on board. Very helpful with everything around the fishing side too!
