Whale watch trip, Kaikoura New Zealand

[Robotnik]

Hi every1,

Over Saturday I went across to Kaikoura in the South Island of New Zealand, a place famous for whale sightings and went on a whale spotting cruise. Here are some pics - all of the whales are sperm whales. I saw four different ones on the day. I was also fortunate enough to see a family of dusky dolphins and a number of low flying albatrosses.

Here's some pics I snapped with my digicam:

I live in Wellington, New Zealand which is in the North Island and getting to the South Island involves a ferry crossing. There's also some pics from the ferry crossing. Arguaby these photos might go in wildlife, but there's more shots of land and seascapes than ones of whales, so I think it ought to go here...
