After packing up and feeding the chickens, we hit the road again to head to Kaikōura - Māori for “meal of crayfish” to spot some whales. The bay is basically the Grand Canyon but underwater, so a great place to see marine life.
As we arrived, the place lived up to its name as we immediately saw a pod of dolphins playing in the shallows.
Heading out to sea, we followed a pesky whale that didn’t want to be found (don’t blame him). The captain informed us that he wasn’t using his echolocation, so would be very hard to find. After a good hour or so, he finally made not one, but two appearances, so we got very lucky!
Chilly from a couple of hours at sea, we tucked into a fish supper to end the day!もっと詳しく
