    I was there in Kaikoura about 20 years ago and it was amazing! Watched whales, experienced sea sickness for the first time swam with dolphins, walked to a spot where I was told there would be seals (there was indeed a single one, and i was just in time to see him waddle off into the sea....).

    Kaikōura looks so amazing. It’s like the perfect place for people who want to see and experience NZ marine life. The dusky dolphins are SO AMAZING! I’d love to do the kayaking tour with them and just stick my GoPro under the water the whole time haha 😂 I definitely want to visit there and do all the tours. I’ve never had crayfish either so that’s something I wouldn’t mind spending the money to try 😋 the peninsula walk is so great because we always love to get exercise in new places we visit and to see wild seals on your hike is the best plus ever to getting out and exercising 😄

    Danm Girl... You just keep me on the hook to go back to Kaikoura... We did the first part of the walk in what seemed a gale force wind and a light shower.. Still saw some seals just chilling and snoring.. Definitely need some good footwear as most of where the seals are used to be below sea prior to the Quake.. I would love to show you just how close go I got to one seal after I did a stealth sneaky approach but alas I cannot load it into here.. Lets just say both of us had a WTF moment and I giggled like a little girl..

    I love seafood but I don’t think have had crawfish before. How different is it from lobster? The dolphins you saw were much more of a show off than the ones I saw in FL. Didn’t realize all the places you went to were in the same area. Whales and seals would be so fun. Rosalie would go crazy!!!

    Hiiii.. Leena from India here once again. Remember me ? I did all the adrenaline activities in Queenstown last Dec..Bungy, Nevis swing and Skydiving ☺️ going back to NZ in june. My girl n myself plan to do kaikoura and night sky watching/southern lights from Aoraki Mt. Cook, Stewart Island, Bluff, Invercargill. What I would greatly appreciate is advise on where to stay in these places. We don't drive so tips on mode of travel to these places is what I would love to know. Thanksssss in advance😘

    Heeellllllo Leena!! Hmmm good question!! There are lots of different options depends what kind of accomodation you are wanting! Basic or luxury? I use a site called booking.com. I usually go for the cheapest haha! I would use this site to book all your accomodation plus it has free cancelation if needed! There are buses that can take you to these places! Mt cook is a bit hard i think it only has one bus that goes 2 times a week so I would research this and see what days it goes there! They are getting very booked though so I would be looking into it now! Intercity is the bus company I would go for! Comfortable and realible! Hope this helps! :)
