Sketch of the day tour to New Zealand

Description of one of the days during an exclusive tour to New Zealand in April 2014

Kaikoura

Kaikoura’s unique cocktail of geological features has kept it firmly on the forefront of ecotourism in New Zealand for several decades, making it a veritable haven for hikers and wildlife seekers making their way north out of Christchurch into the more untapped hinterlands of the Canterbury region.
The town itself is sandwiched between the soaring and brilliant peaks of the Seaward Kaikouras and the plummeting depths of the underwater Hikurangi Trench—one of the undisputed natural wonders of the region, which forces a kaleidoscopic array of marine life into the shallower waters of the New Zealand Pacific. It really is a show not to be missed, with Sperm Whales floundering in the deep blue waters, next to elegant dolphin pods and seal heard.
After a day spotting beasts on the waters around town, be sure to quiz your Kaikoura tour guide for the best seafood joints in town, where the crayfish dishes are hailed as the best in South Island.
