The Whale Watch Company

Posted by kama 5 October 2006

The Whale Watch Company is run by a Maori sub-tribe and they have won many awards. It is not only phenomenal to see the whales in their natural envionment, but it is also hugely educational.

I saw lots of sperm whales, some killer whales and an albatross...and you are given plenty of time to observe the creatures.

Be warned though - if the weather is not right, the boats don't go out. It's safety first.
