We Saw More Than Just Whales!

Kaikōura Whale Watching Adventure | New Zealand | S6 EP44 Today’s episode takes us out onto the waters of Kaikōura, New Zealand, one of the best whale watching destinations in the world. We headed out hoping to spot whales along the South Island coastline, but this trip turned into far more than we expected. During our whale watching tour in Kaikōura, we were lucky enough to see a huge humpback whale, pods of dolphins swimming alongside the boat, and even an unusual sighting of a massive group of albatross gathering out at sea. With the mountains of New Zealand meeting the Pacific Ocean, this part of the country feels completely different from anywhere else we’ve travelled on our round the world motorcycle journey. Kaikōura is famous for its deep offshore canyon which attracts an incredible variety of marine wildlife including sperm whales, humpback whales, dusky dolphins, orca, seals, and seabirds. Seeing a humpback whale in the wild was something we’ll never forget, especially surrounded by the dramatic scenery of New Zealand’s South Island. After tens of thousands of kilometres riding around the world on our BMW R1300 GSA, moments like this remind us why we chose this journey in the first place. 🛒 Our Travel Shop: Explore our travel-tested gear & stickers: https://seanandemilytravels.com/shop 🗺️ Navigation App – calimoto: Get a 30-day free trial ➤ Use code: S&E30 Get 10% off yearly plans ➤ Use code: S&E10 Start here: https://linktr.ee/calimoto_SeanandEmily 🛟 Travel Safety – Protected by Global Rescue: Worldwide emergency rescue, evacuation, and medical support for overlanders:
