Where Mountains Meet the Ocean

Kaikoura is where the Seaward Kaikoura Ranges (2,500+ metres) meet the Pacific Ocean — creating one of New Zealand’s richest marine environments. Sperm whales are resident year-round, dusky dolphins swim in pods of hundreds, fur seals colonise the peninsula, and albatross are visible from shore. Whale watching, swimming with dolphins, and the seal colony walk are the headline activities.
