Highlights

  • Fishing – start of the new season. Bring your own fishing gear or go for a fishing charter – both fish & crayfish!
  • 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
