Kaikura - NZ - unofficial guide

Kaikura is around 2 hours drive from Christchurch (south island of
NZ).

As far as I can gather it's a tourist/fishing place. It's on the
shoreline.

The place is famous for it's whale watching. Although I didnt
participate I heard that it's one of the most famous places in the
world to whale watch, apparently you can get quite close to the
whales. I heard it costs around NZ$120 per person to whale watch.

It doesnt have much of anything and it was quite desolate when I went
there during the offseason (May). Plenty of green, a quiet place in
general.

I saw a sealion while I was there.
