Roadside Stories: Marine life at Kaikōura

Kaikōura means ‘eat crayfish’, and roadside caravans near the town offer the seafood delicacy for sale. Kaikōura is also home to fur seals, dolphins, and – most famously – whales feeding offshore, drawn there by a massive underwater canyon less than 5 kilometres from shore.

Listen to a Roadside Story about Kaikōura. Roadside Stories is a series of audio guides to places around New Zealand.
