Kaikoura Flat

2 out of top 10 points of interest in this area

Kaikoura Flat offers a breathtaking coastal retreat where dramatic mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This peaceful residential area serves as the perfect base for marine wildlife adventures like whale watching and dolphin swimming. Mount Fyffe creates a stunning backdrop against the rugged shoreline. The area features quiet streets lined with traditional Kiwi homes and native gardens. Travellers can easily access Kaikoura Beach for scenic walks or venture to nearby Fyffe View Ranch Adventure Park. The natural setting provides an authentic slice of New Zealand coastal living away from urban crowds.

Small but beautiful town. Tons to do. Sadly my seal encounter got cancelled due to weather, but my dolphin encounter was the best thing I've ever done in my entire life. And I heard the whale watching was also phenomenal. When I get back to NZ (hopefully one day), I'll definitely be doing all 3 and spending more time here!
