Kaikōura: where the mountains meet the sea and the dolphins meet you. 🐬✨ There’s nothing quite like slipping into the crisp blue water and finding yourself surrounded by wild, curious dolphins in their natural playground — it’s pure magic. @dolphinencounterkaikoura makes this once in a lifetime experience happen! This tiny coastal town is one of New Zealand’s most underrated gems. Snow-capped peaks on one side, the vast Pacific on the other, and wildlife encounters that feel straight out of a dream. If you’re craving something a little wilder, a little quieter, and a whole lot more breathtaking, Kaikōura should be at the very top of your New Zealand bucket list. 🌊🏔️🐬
