Kaikoura nestles between mountains and the sea on SH1, 90 minutes
south of Blenheim.
This unique mix of towering peaks and plummeting depths provides spectacular coastal
alpine scenery and a wide range of tourist activities, including watching whales, swimming
with dolphins, fishing and more.
Speeped in history, Kaikoura is now famed for its locally-caught crayfish and popular
whale watch programmes. Beach lovers can spot fur seals lounging on rocks just metres from
shore, while Dusky and Hector's dolphins frolic in the sea within sight of town.
