 Facts - The seaside settlement of Kaikoura is situated on the South Island’s rugged east coast, half way between Christchurch and Picton. Famous for its sea life, Kaikoura is the place to view the world’s most acrobatic dolphins, the resident sperm whales (equivalent in size to four elephants!) and giant albatross. The town itself boasts the stunning, snow capped backdrop of the Kaikoura Ranges and there’s plenty of play and exploration to be had on land! Activities include whale and dolphin watching, swimming with dolphins or seals, kayaking, quad bike rides, horse riding and farm visits. The town itself is big enough to offer a range of accommodation , great cafes restaurants and delectable crayfish or fish and chips, but small enough to relax in the peace of a typical South Island town.KAIKOURA FAMILY ACCOMMODATION We've researched dozens of accommodation options for your family travel to New Zealand.
