Kaikoura

About Kaikoura

Kaikōura is one of the best places in New Zealand to get up close with marine wildlife—whales, dolphins, and seal pups are often just offshore! But it’s more than just an animal encounter; the coastal views are stunning, the seafood is fresh, and the whole place has an easy-going, relaxed vibe. I’ve spotted whales from a boat, kayaked with seals, walked the dramatic peninsula track, and eaten more than my fair share of crayfish.
