Discover Kaikōura's diverse marine wildlife and abundance of exceptional produce on this unforgettable half-day tour. Starting with a helicopter flight to observe one of New Zealand’s most unique marine life canyons from above, you'll then journey between the soaring peaks of the Kaikōura mountains and the South Island's wild northeastern Pacific coast to the internationally renowned Hapuku Kitchen. Owner and chef Fiona Read will welcome you to her home where you'll tour the gardens and world-class kitchen while learning how she makes the most of the produce grown, harvested and caught in and around Kaikōura. Following the tour, relax and enjoy a seasonal long lunch featuring the region's very best ingredients.

This experience can be upgraded to incorporate a cooking class where you'll share in the creation of the feast.
