Kaikōura is one of the few places in the world where Sperm Whales can be seen year-round and close to shore. They congregate here because the 3km deep Kaikōura Canyon runs right up against the coast creating a rare system of sea currents that sustain an incredibly rich marine food chain.

It is something incredibly special that wild animals choose to stop and engage 1:1 with swimmers in the water.  Dusky dolphins are probably the most interactive dolphin species; we don’t know why, and this sense of mystery makes the engagement with them all the more extraordinary!
Often described as a life-changing experience; snorkeling with the pod you will take away some magical memories.

At the southern end of the beach, naturally heated, mineral-rich waters bubble up from the deep, emerging through silky golden sands to create natural spa pools where you can soak in the summer and winter.

Kiwi-Tipp: dig a hole 2hrs either side of low tide to reach hotwater on the beach and create your own pool

On your drive to the Port, you will pass Tuakau Bridge – quite nice to look at and the place where I first went water-skiing! 
I lived there up the hill in Onewhero during my exchange year.
 
Port Waikato is loved by surfers;  great beach, but be careful if you go swimming, always swim between the flags! The current / rip-tide can be dangerous..
