After a short respite in Picton, we headed south again to a village called Kaikoura. It's unique in that a 1km deep ocean valley comes very close to the shore and you only have to travel 5-6km out to sea to find male Sperm Whales feeding. Fifteen minutes out to sea in a very powerful Catamaran, sure enough, and we were chuffed to bits, we saw not one but TWO fully grown Sperm Whales and patiently waited for them to dive again to deeper water to get that all-important "tail shot". Here goes, and very proud we are too!
