You can spot humpbacks, sperm whales, fur seals, dolphins, and more, against the beautiful horizon and amidst the stunning landscapes. Furthermore, there are multiple options for your taste buds, as Kaikoura is known for the drooling taste of fresh blue cod and mussels, crawfish, and other seafood!
3. Glacier Trekking on Fox and Franz Josef
