with Canterbury Trails provides the opportunity to travel to this

you make the most of both your journey and your destination.
The coastal town of
Kaikoura enjoys a spectacular position between the Pacific Ocean and the
dramatic peaks of the Kaikoura Ranges. Many visitors are attracted
by the opportunity to take a Whale Watch Tour. For an
airborne view of the Whales you can take a 'Wings over Whales'

Whales, other sea
mammals and pelagic birds are
