Dive Kaikoura

4.9(34 reviews)

About

Dive Kaikoura serves South Island from 13 Yarmouth Street in Kaikōura. The scuba diving operation has earned a 4.9 out of 5 average from 34 reviews, placing it among the highest-rated dive outfits on the island.

Christchurch and Blenheim are the closest of the main centres, with Nelson and Dunedin also within reach for those touring the South Island. Kaikoura itself sits on the east coast, roughly midway between Christchurch and Blenheim, making it a natural stop on a coastal drive. Queenstown, Wanaka and Te Anau lie further south for divers continuing their travels.

Opening hours run from 09:00 to 18:00, and the website at https://www.divekaikoura.co.nz/ carries further detail on the operation.

Dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, and Tūī and kererū are common native birds inland, so wildlife encounters often extend beyond the water. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. The Southern Alps run down the South Island, giving the island its dramatic mountain backdrop.
