IT’S RETINA-RIVETING A perennially sparkling sea nips at a pretty township and is backed by an incredibly large mountain range that is both imposing and impressive.
THERE ARE FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS A place where wildlife is so easily spottable. Whales, dolphins, New Zealand fur seals and penguins all call Kaikōura home. It’s also known as the albatross capital of the world.
IT’S A YEAR-ROUND BLAST The water is always inviting and in winter, the Kaikōura Ranges are covered in snow: carve up the powder at Mt Lyford ski area or head to Lake Stella for ice skating.
THE SEAFOOD IS SUBLIME In Kaikōura, the name directly translates to mean ‘to eat crayfish’ so we’ll give you one guess what tastes particularly good in these parts.
