Have a Whale of a Time at Kaikoura

On the east coast of New Zealand's South Island between Picton and Christchurch is a choice spot for your "Moby Dick experience."

This is Kaikoura where most times you will be able to get close and personal with the behemoths of the ocean. Head out to sea and have a whale of a tale, or vice-versa.
