Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.Guest review byWendyNew Zealand - 8.0
Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed!
Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!Guest review byHelenAustralia - 10.0

Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.Guest review byMaylanaNew Zealand - 10.0

The seal colony on the northern coast at Ohau Point was a great stop on the way to Kaikoura - we saw baby seals feeding, lots of seal frolicking in the water and on the beach. We walked to South Bay lookout and around the headland to Kaikoura beach as the coastline is spectacular. More seals and birds on this beach. Good 8km walk. Food at the hotel along the road was good and drinks on the verandah to watch the sunset was great.Guest review byJo and Gary GorsuchAustralia - 10.0
Kaikoura is a beautiful place for outdoor activities.
Kaikoura is a beautiful place for outdoor activities. Whale and dolphin watching is popular and there is a seal colony close to town. There are nice places to eat and the town is focused on tourism..Guest review bySusanNew Zealand
