Overview

Kaikoura – A small coastal town overlooked by many, but a “must see” location in New Zealand. With panorama views of turquoise water and snowcapped mountains, this is one place that spells serenity. Take the tour with one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides from the Garden City to where the mountains meet the sea. Kaikoura is the best place to experience marine life encounters, coastal walks, and fantastic local food.

With this day tour to Kaikoura, you will be encouraged to relax! Kaikoura is surfer’s paradise and home to an abundance of wildlife which you will encounter as we near this town. The surrounding scenery of breathtaking bright blue Pacific Ocean in contrast with the Kaikoura Ranges allows you to take those Instagram worthy photos and experience a region like no other. With this day out there will be plenty to add on if you wish too! Hey, we encourage it.
