The Chatham Straits
The Chatham Straits are home to humpback whales, orca whales, and porpoises. These krill and herring rich waters are perfect for spotting whales and are such a great place to observe these amazing creatures that both the Discovery Channel and National Geographic have filmed documentaries at this site.
