Kaikoura is a town in New Zealand.

The Maori name is Te Ahi-kai-koura-a-Tama-ki-te-rangi

A stunningly beautiful seaside town on the east coast of the south island approx half-way between Blenheim and Christchurch. Beautiful crescent-shaped bay right in town, great for swimming. Fantastic place for beach combing. Just north of town the mountains literally meet the sea.

Things to to see and do

Beachcombe for interesting pebbles on the beach behind the shops.
Walk out to the seal colony.
Walk around the peninsula from the seal colony to South Bay. Huge variety of birdlife.
Hike up Mount Fyfe - strenuous full day hike.
There are many commercial tours operating eg ‘Swim with Seals’, ‘Swim with Dolphins’, ‘Whale Watch Tours’, "Kayak with Seals'.
Highly recommended is a trip with Kaikoura Kayaks - 0800 452 456 for bookings and info.
