Your experience with South Pacific Helicopters takes
you on a journey above one of New Zealand’s most
unique marine life canyons. The food produced here
supports a diverse variety of marine life including many
species of whales that migrate through the area such
as humpback, southern right whales, blue whales, and
of course the mighty sperm whale: the world's largest
toothed whale.
Once you have spent time viewing the wild marine
life, relax and enjoy the scenic flight along the rugged
coastline of Kaikōura to the world class Hapuku
Kitchen.

At its heart, Hapuku Kitchen is focused on reconnecting
the kitchen to the land and sea, celebrating the
abundant larder nature has to offer - taking inspiration
from the wild Kaikōura landscape.
They will invite you into their stunning home, located
between the soaring peaks of the Kaikōura mountains
and the wild Pacific coast of Aotearoa New Zealand, for
a culinary adventure that celebrates the season.
