Restaurants & cafés

The Pier Hotel Restaurant
Restaurant in a 1900s wooden hotel on the southern foreshore, with sea views from the deck and a seafood-led menu. The grown-up casual dinner in town.

Green Dolphin Restaurant
Long-running foreshore restaurant with the village's most consistent dinner kitchen, a seafood-led menu and a strong wine list. The reliable evening choice.

Trails & outdoors

Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway
Iconic 3.5km coastal clifftop walk around the perimeter of the Kaikoura peninsula, with views of the snow-capped Kaikoura ranges and a fur seal colony at the eastern tip. Easy gradients, well-signed. The defining short walk in town.

Mt Fyffe Track
A 6-7 hour return summit walk on the 1602m peak that backdrops Kaikoura, with a 1500m elevation gain and a panoramic view over the Pacific and the inland ranges. Serious hiker territory.

Things to do

Whale Watch Kaikoura
The marine-mammal-focused boat tour from the South Bay wharf, with a 95% success rate spotting sperm whales. Maori-owned and DOC-accredited; the country's flagship whale watch and the reason most visitors come to Kaikoura. 2.5-hour tour.

Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura
Boat-based dolphin tour with optional swim-with-dolphins immersion, focused on dusky dolphins in the Kaikoura coastal waters. The country's most successful swim-with-dolphins operation.

Landmarks & sights

Kaikoura Peninsula
The blunt rocky peninsula that gives the town its silhouette, with the Peninsula Walkway around its perimeter, a fur-seal colony at the eastern tip, and the Kaikoura ranges dropping straight into the Pacific in the background. The defining feature of the town.

Point Kean Seal Colony
The fur seal colony at the eastern tip of the peninsula, free to visit, with seals snoozing within metres of the carpark. The country's most accessible wild fur seal encounter.
