People usually go to Kaikoura for sea, dolphin watching swims, and various activities. Mondello Kaikoura is very friendly. The accommodation is also very close to the amenities. And although it's not 100%, if you request a late check-out in advance, they will do it for free depending on the situation~ The room condition is also good and they are very friendly. It's perfect for dolphin watching swims and late check-out!! You can wash up and leave comfortably!

What an awesome experience, way more than we bargained for. Our guide Natalie was awesome, keeping us informed and entertained throughout. Seeing the seals (there would have been more than a 100) in their natural setting of rugged coast was such a treat. We also had other highlights such as the short walk through the native Otari Wilton , the spectacular scenery (we could even see the South Island). Thanks this was a most memorable experience.

we managed to see 4-5 whales so that’s really good. however, if you are prone to sea sickness - I wouldn’t recommend as sea can be quite rough

the 2 guides were chatty and friendly. we had a great time there. do note that there were some steep paths to walk so do bring water and wear proper hiking shoes.
