Located in the South Island, Kaikoura is a small coastal village that has an incredible vista; the large mountain range of Seaward Kaikouras provides a dramatic backdrop to the town centre located on a small peninsula extending out into the Pacific Ocean.

Cruise in the open seas on modern vessels and join a pod of the playful dusky dolphins for an unforgettable swim. Dusky dolphins are very gregarious and highly social. Their spectacular leaps, jumps, side slaps and back flips make for some great photo opportunities. One of the most spectacular leaps performed by the duskies is their trademark somersault repeated several times much to the delight of the onlookers.
