Discover Kaikoura with its wildlife, outdoor activities, cafes and restaurants...

---

Kaikoura is only a short drive (appr. 15-20 mins) from Lynton Downs Farm Stay.
​
Visitors often do not realise just how much Kaikoura has to offer and for that reason, we thoroughly recommend a minimum stay of two nights and two full days with many people wanting to go out and enjoy the excellent marine experiences.

Please bear in mind that weather/ocean conditions can often change quickly and trips can be cancelled at short notice, so it is great to have an extra day to ensure you see and do all you want to experience. We also recommend advance bookings for many of the popular tours over the summer months.

Here are some of the activities on offer. We are happy to help you plan the ones that you'll enjoy most!
