Thank you for your comments, under the Marine Mammal Protection Act 1978 the Department of Conservation is able to issue permits to watch whales by sea and air. Whale Watch has been issued with the 4 permits that are available by boat, with the other whale viewing permits being issued to the tour operators who view whales from the air. This is montiored by DoC and reviewed often to make sure the whales are not threatened. We assist DoC in their research and abide by the many rules that are set in place by DoC for the whales protection. We know the importance of protecting these beautiful creatures and work hard at our sustainability and conservation practises.
Thank you again Stephan for your comments, we hope you have a great time in NZ.
