We weren't sure whether to do the albatross tour in Kaikoura, but it's probably one of the best things we did on our trip! What an amazing experience to see these giant birds up close - the largest wingspan in the world! The swell was pretty big though and Andy and I felt pretty ill... I didn't know people actually turned green until I saw Andy sitting on that boat! Kaikoura is also fascinating because of the terrible earthquake there in 2016. It actually raised the coastline by 6m in some parts and the whole community was cut off by road for several days.Les mer
