Check out the baby seals in the seal colonies around the coast
As the days lengthen and the temperature increases, great time to get out on to the water for some kayaking
Enjoy a short walk on the Fyffe Palmer walkway or climb a bit higher on Mt Fyffe – overnight in the hut and get up early to hear 1000’s of Hutton’s Shearwaters heading out for the day – Kaikoura is the only place in the world where these fascinating little seabirds breed.
The ultimate spring time combo – ski in the morning at Mt Lyford and then down to the coast for an afternoon surf at one of Kaikoura’s excellent surfing spots
Soak in the views of the mountains with the last of the spring snow coverage
