Combien de jours prévoir : Kaikōura
Spend 2 to 3 days in Kaikōura. The marine wildlife encounters are world-class, but boat tours are heavily weather-dependent. A multi-day stay gives you buffer time against sea swells while allowing you to complete the stunning Kaikōura Peninsula Walkway, feast on local crayfish, and visit the historic Fyffe House.
