What day trips can I take from Kaikoura?

The full-day tours from Kaikoura go to Christchurch, where you can join a whale watch or swim with dolphins excursion. These tours are based in Kaikoura itself, so they don't cover other destinations. For a classic day trip, head to the nearby Marlborough wine region or the Abel Tasman National Park for coastal walks and beaches.

How many days do I need in Kaikoura?

Plan 2 to 3 days. In two days, you can do a whale watch, visit the seal colony, and walk the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway. Add a third day for the Kaikoura Lookout and EcoZip Adventures, or a day trip to swim with dolphins, which needs an extra day.
