Kaikōura is known for its Unique location, on the East Coast of New Zealand. Well positioned between Ōtautahi Christchurch and Picton.


There are few places like Kaikōura, a small coastal town offering breath taking views. The towering Seaward Kaikōura mountain range provide a stunning backdrop over the town centre which extends out to the Kaikōura Peninsula, where the waves of the Pacific Ocean roll in.


The Kaikōura undersea canyon plunges to depths of over 1200m very close to shore, and attracts a wide range of wildlife, including the Sperm Whale, the Kekeno (New Zealand Fur Seal), Dusky Dolphins & a range of bird species.


There is a range of experiences to enjoy in Kaikōura, whether by land, sea or in the air.


We invite you to discover what makes Kaikōura so unique – a place that’s one of a kind; unlike anywhere else.
