Sounds Air offers a return service from Wellington to Kaikoura.
Few places in the world can boast such natural wonders as those offered by land and sea in Kaikoura.
The seaside settlement of Kaikoura is situated midway between Christchurch and Picton on the rugged east coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is overlooked by majestic mountains, which are snow-capped for many months of the year.
This unique combination of ocean and mountains offers stunning coastal alpine scenery and a host of eco-tourism oriented activities, including Whale watching, Dolphin swimming, walks and much more!
Whether you are looking for relaxation, nature excitement, art, history and culture, or fine wines and cuisine, Kaikoura offers it all. Accommodation is extensive, ranging from backpackers and holiday parks to bed & breakfast, motels and lodges.
In winter the Mt Lyford Ski Field inland from Kaikoura offers both novices and experienced skiers alike the opportunity to enjoy the mountain slopes.
