About This Tour
Explore the stunning Kaikōura coast on this full-day small-group tour from Christchurch. We'll pick you up from your hotel or a central meeting point, then set off along State Highway 1, where dramatic cliffs, sweeping ocean views, and rolling farmland create the perfect backdrop for a day of adventure. Stop along the way for morning tea before arriving in Kaikōura for lunch. Then stroll the scenic Kaikōura Peninsula Walkway, visit seal colonies, or explore the charming township at your own pace. For wildlife enthusiasts and thrill-seekers, upgrade to include a whale-watching cruise, dolphin or albatross encounter, scenic flight, or an eco-zipline adventure. *Please note: Independent third-party providers operate these activities, and availability is not guaranteed, particularly for last-minute bookings. Our standard tour cancellation policy applies. After your Kaikōura adventure, relax on the scenic drive back to Christchurch, where you'll be dropped at your hotel or in the city.
