The Kaikoura Region

Only two hours north of Christchurch is Kaikoura, where the mountains meet the sea. Fur seals lounge on rocks just metres from the shore, dusky and Hector's dolphins frolic in the sea within sight of town, while only a few kilometres further out, giant sperm whales haunt the depths. The sperm whale can be seen all year round off Kaikoura and is the third largest whale in the world, only beaten by the blue and fin whales.

Kaikoura is quite small, with only a resident population of approximately 3,600 in the township and rural areas (2006 Census). In Maori, Kaikoura literally means 'to eat crayfish', and this is a big delicacy here.

A few activities you can take part in while staying in Kaikoura include:

• Go whale-watching by boat or air, all year round
• Swim with or observe dolphins on a dolphin encounter
• Experience seal swimming with a land-based or boat-based guided seal snorkelling tour
• Take a bird watching tour, to view seabirds, albatross , molly-mawks, petrels and many more
• Hike the Kaikoura Peninsula walkway – three hours return to visit a seal colony, limestone formations and a seabird colony
• Visit Fyffe House, a colonial whalers cottage

Staying at our Kaikoura motel is a great way to see all the sights that the region has to offer.
