Kaikōura Info & Tours began with a simple purpose: to fill the gap left when the local i-SITE closed. What started as a community need quickly grew into something more — a space where visitors can find genuine advice, seamless bookings, and a warm local welcome.

We’re a small team of Kaikōura locals who live and breathe this place. From the whales offshore to the mountains at our back door, this land shapes who we are and how we share it. Our passion is connecting people with experiences that go beyond the ordinary — from iconic whale watching tours to hidden gems you won’t find in a guidebook.

Every recommendation we make comes from firsthand knowledge, honest advice, and a deep respect for the environment that sustains us. We’re proud to represent Kaikōura not just as a destination, but as a living, breathing community with stories, traditions, and adventures to share.

Whether you’re here for a day or staying a while, we’re here to help you discover Kaikōura — the local way.
