Whale Watch Kaikoura

I took seasickness medication beforehand. The sea wasn't too windy that day, but there were still some swells, and I felt a little seasick when the boat first set off at a low speed. The boat was very clean, and the crew was very attentive to service. We didn't see many whales that day, and the ones we did see weren't very big; I only caught a glimpse of a whale's tail once. Overall, it was a good experience. The only downside was that it's about a 2.5-hour drive from Christchurch, but thankfully, the journey passes through vineyards, and there are a few wineries worth visiting.

Moturoa / Rabbit Island

I don't know the origin of the name of Rabbit Island, maybe there is a wonderful story. The whole island has semi-rich coastal resources and landscapes, and it is quite natural, with few traces of man-made things. There are even fewer people!
