    • Favorite Thing: The road between Oaro and Kaikoura is one of the more interesting coastal drives in the South Island. The road curves along beside the sea on one side and hills on the other. In several places the hills reach down and touch the sea so, with a bit of imagination, the hills have had holes knocked into them to allow easy passage.

    The sea shore you follow changes as you move from Oaro - you really need to stop and talk a walk to see what I mean - due to the several different types of environment. This is in spite of the impression that it's all rocky sea shore.

    • Favorite Thing: Kaikoura is surrounded by the Inner Kaikoura Mountains and they are spectacular for much of the year. Being fairly high they can have snow for 10 or more months of the year allowing for some great photos and memories.

    • Favorite Thing: The landscape around Kaikoura is excellent with a major change within a small distance from the coastal plants through to snow capped peaks in the near distance.
