Activities - Kaikoura

The seaside village of Kaikoura is located on a rocky peninsula, protruding from lush farmland beneath the mountains. In the waters off the peninsula, a complex marine system provides an abundantly rich habitat for marine mammals and seabirds making it an ideal place for getting “close to nature”.

The name “Kaikoura” means “eat crayfish (lobster)”, and the area has an abundance of seafood. This abundant seafood attracts a variety of marine life, including whales, seals, dolphins and sea-birds.

Activities include fishing, whale watching, diving, swimming with dolphins or seals.
