New Zealand Trip 2022 Day 3 Part 1 ~ Whale watching at Kaikoura

Waking up bright and early on Day 3 for the famous Whale Watching at Kaikoura!

But before heading out, we had a very hearty and filling breakfast. We were the first to head down for breakfast and the cafe was empty so we weren't sure if it was the right place lol. We went back to the reception to check and they got the cafe wait staff to get us settled. After ordering our breakfast, we headed out to snap some photos.















After what I thought we spent too long taking photos, we quickly went back to the cafe. Surprisingly, not even our drinks were served and we waited a while more before our drinks were served. I guess we were still getting used to being patient with service...



And after waiting for quite some time, our breakfast was served. We obviously overordered.. 




And while eating, our previous accommodation host dropped by to check on us, how nice! And he seemed surprised at how much we ordered lol.

Last shots of the hotel before leaving for the day.



Arriving at the Whale Watch. We arrived slightly early and got our tickets.











Waited for a short while and off we went snapping photos again, especially since we have not been taking many photos the past few days..

We boarded the coach which brought us to the jetty.





The ferry was surprisingly comfy!


We were lucky at first as we quickly spotted a whale that was going to dive. So we just camp there and waited for that special moment.









After this, we just went around chasing Whales but did not have luck as they dive just before we arrived. But at least we saw one!

Back at the jetty, where turkey took photos of fellow turkey lol.




Back at the centre and taking more photos before leaving the premise!







Cloudless sky again!



 Some videos of the whale watching which not sure if it will work when uploaded :/
