Kaikoura & Hamner Springs

180 images Created 1 Jul 2010

A Kaikoura landscape gallery wouldn't seem complete without adding in wildlife images. After all, Kaikoura is known as the seabird capital of the world! This picture gallery contains images of albatrosses, dolphins, whale flukes, sea lions, shags, shearwaters, petrels, waterfalls, the snowy Seaward Range, Kaikoura Peninsula, and breeding colonies.

For many more dolphin or albatross photos, please visit our individual galleries on 'Dusky Dolphins' or multiple albatross galleries.
