The Crossing
We attempted a full day tramp to see some cool volcanic craters and pools. we walked into the clouds and never back out, so we did not see anything and it was cold...

Kaikoura is where you go to see whales and dolphins. There are many boat and helicoptor tours, which we were planning to take, but the weather wasn't ideal (and I was too chicken) for a boat...and there was a minimum passenger problem with the helicoptor
