Kaikoura nestles between the Kaikoura Ranges and the Pacific Ocean 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.
