Things to do in Kaikoura

I took seasickness medication beforehand. The sea wasn't too windy that day, but there were still some swells, and I felt a little seasick when the boat first set off at a low speed. The boat was very clean, and the crew was very attentive to service. We didn't see many whales that day, and the ones we did see weren't very big; I only caught a glimpse of a whale's tail once. Overall, it was a good experience. The only downside was that it's about a 2.5-hour drive from Christchurch, but thankfully, the journey passes through vineyards, and there are a few wineries worth visiting.

The peninsula trails are beautiful. They're only a ten-minute drive from where you've finished whale watching. One trail runs up the mountain, offering panoramic views of the bay; the other is along the beach, leading to Seal Point where you can get up close to groups of baby seals. If you have time, you should definitely explore both; they offer completely different scenery.

It was the first time I saw sea lions gather so close. There were a lot of sea lions on the trail. Generally, humans and sea lions are required to keep a safe distance of two meters. They were still very lazy, lying on the rocks, a little cute and a little bit charming.

A storm disrupted the original plan, and the whale watching trip in Kaikoura was transformed into a walk in the whale watching town and a visit to the seal habitat. It was quite pleasant to see the seals lying lazily on the rocks by the sea. Back to the hotel, learn to lie down at the right time and enjoy this leisure time.

Located in Kaikoura, it is a good place to watch dolphins. It is suitable for coming here to enjoy the taste of the sea... The dolphins will swim with the yacht. It is a good place to take pictures and suitable for friends of all ages.

The farm is very beautiful, with lavender in full bloom, and the shop run by the old grandfather has a variety of lavender products.
