Drive in last minute to see if flights were available.
They gave us an option of a charter flight for the 2 of us and we promptly left after the safety briefing.
It was awesome.
2 sperm whales - 1 humpback and saw all three drive and tails up as they did so.
Circling above the whales till they dived with a total view of all was exceptional.
Our pilot / guide .. can’t remember her name sorry .. was Supurb . Knowledgeable and informative re all things whales . A well worth while experience .

For our whole family this was one of the top events during our holiday in New Zeeland! Even my dad ( who has seen a whole part of the world) listed this in his top 3 events during our holidays! Don't book a boat tour to see the whales but simply book your flight with wings over whales! Super friendly crew, good explanations and you get to know more about the whales!

We did the Wings Over Whales tour as part of our cruise ship excursion and it was fantastic. Staff and Pilot were all excellent and on our flight we got to see a Sperm Whale surface to take some air. What a magical event.

I killed about 4 billion pixels on my camera taking photos.
Suggestion: I-Phones do take great photos but you really need a proper camera with 200-300 mm lens to record this trip properly.

The perfect day thanks to wings over whales. We had a bit of a delay due to an overbooking, but wings over whales did everything to compensate the delay by giving us a wonderful experience! The helicopter flight was just amazing, with outstanding views and we saw a spermwhale and a hudge group of dolphins. Thank you Daniel and your team for a great experience to never forget
