What happens

At Kaikōura, snowy mountains drop straight into the sea. Dusky dolphins leap out of the water and do backflips higher than the boat, fur seal pups watch from the rocks with big round eyes, an albatross glides past on giant wings, and a sperm whale lifts its tail to wave.

Fun facts

  • Dusky dolphins can flip in the air again and again!
  • Sperm whales have the biggest brains of any animal ever.
  • An albatross can glide for hours without flapping its wings.
