Kaikula, Maori for "eat lobster", Maori kai means "eat", Koura means "lobster". Here you can participate in or experience many outdoor activities, such as whale watching or dolphin watching, and for example, sea fishing activities we are going to participate in. But the sea fishing was cancelled due to the weather, but we still had delicious lobsters at the roadside stalls. We also saw beautiful fire clouds in Kaikula Xiaowu.

    Kaikura on New Zealand's South Island is really a very interesting place. The currents here are complicated and changeable. It is only 400 meters from the shoal to the deep sea, and the extended distance is less than 400 meters. So there will be huge depth changes in the place that is very close to the shore. Generally, this place is a place where all kinds of fish are dense, so there are also a variety of animals, seals, dolphins, whales, etc. in Kaikoura. It is a very interesting thing to fish for lobsters and deep sea fish. Fishing in Shanghai from about 200 meters below the sea, there are huge albatrosses waiting to eat and deal with, the remaining fish internal organs, fish heads and small cockroaches, etc.

    Located between Christchurch and the port of Picton, Kaikoura is a unique area of sea and mountains with a fascinating coastal alpine landscape that includes a range of ecological activities: Kaikoura Sea fishing, whale watching, seal watching, swimming with dolphins, and bird-loving. In addition, the peninsula hike is also very good. The scenery on the hill is very beautiful. It is just sea fishing. Whale watching has to catch up with the weather to go to sea...

    Kaikura is one of Australia's most important seaside cities, with not only developed commerce but also beautiful natural environment. It has a very well-preserved pristine rainforest and a long coastline, with very pleasant scenery and a very comfortable climate. It is an important tourist city in Australia and attracts millions of people to visit every year.

    The most thrilling journey! It takes 200 kilometers from Christchurch to Kaikoura. Due to the impact of the earthquake, the original seaside road is closed and can only be driven around the inner Zhongshan Road. There is a quite long winding road in the middle. The altitude is very high. The mountain road is steep. There are many detours and all are sharp bends. Basically, people's bodies in the car are tilted 45 degrees. This mountain road can't see other vehicles, and only two or three cars driving opposite the whole journey are quite lonely. I and the young man of my mind were nervous, and the heart mentioned the throat and the eyes. At one time, I thought that we had broken into the deep mountains and old forests or what was lost and returned to the forest, and I was afraid and excited. I don't know how long it took, we finally reached the top of the slope, vaguely saw the village in the distance, the car began to go downhill, we finally a little relieved, there is a sense of relief for the rest of the life. The teenager said that after this thrilling driving, he should never dare to drive again (laughing with relief~). After having lunch in Kaikula Town and taking a break, he arrived at the service point of Kaikula i-site. It may be that this destination is too difficult to reach. There are relatively few tourists and basically no tour groups. There are two ways to choose whale watching, one is by plane and the other is by boat. It is said that it takes a long time to take a boat, and the chance of seeing whales is small, the sea is particularly large, and the seasickness phenomenon is also very serious. So we chose to fly whale watching more efficiently. After buying tickets on the spot, the captain will give a small class meeting for five or six people, introduce us to the species of wild whales that live in Kaikoura, and then distribute safety clothing to everyone. As the only woman on the plane, she was lucky enough to be invited by the captain to take the co-pilot (smile proudly). At first, the plane would circle several large circles over the Pacific Ocean, and the view of Kekula from above was spectacular and stunning. Then the captain will lock in an area where a whale is infested and slowly approach the sea level. In order for tourists on each side to see the whale from the nearest distance, the captain will circle the whale clockwise and then circle a few times counterclockwise, and at the same time make the inner fuselage tilt, infinitely close to the sea level. So many rounds. But this is just seeing the whale. If you want to capture the classic picture of the whale jumping out of the sea and drilling into the sea and flipping its tail, you need to be quick. I silently watched the powerful whale in the foreigner's brother's camera behind me. Compared with the small whales in their own lens, they are the same as mud, and they can only regret that there is no long-focus lens (don't smile ~), and they can't fix the most perfect posture of the whale. In this way, I repeatedly circled the whale, and I didn't remember how many circles I had spared. I felt that there were 40 or 50 circles. At this moment, I am dizzy and nauseous to the extreme. The captain noticed my discomfort and intimately provided me with water and vomiting bags. I vomited so uninterestingly, and the vomit was dim (crying~). After landing, I came to a beautiful photo with the handsome captain. After a break, I set off back to Christchurch. Before leaving, the handsome captain asked me very concerned about whether I was more comfortable (beauty~). The whole whale watching activity takes 1.5-2 hours, and the round-trip journey is 7 hours. It can be said that the time is enough to go back and forth from Christchurch. There is no village in front of this road and no store behind, you need to bring your own

    1, apply sunscreen, do a good job of sunshade preparation; 2, the sea wind and waves are difficult to predict, you can eat some anti-sickness medicine before boarding, with garbage bags on the ship; 3, if there is no suitable cooking utensils, it is not recommended to bring the whole fish ashore. The crew will ask you to take a few whole fish, the rest will help you slice into fish willow, put in the ice bucket or refrigerator before landing to help you save; 4. Lobster is generally one person, how much sea fish can take. But it is likely that you can't finish a meal; 5. The boaters will recommend restaurants that process fish and shrimp. Local restaurants charge NZD 22 per person, including cooking lobster and fish, and serving salads and chips. The lobster practice is optional, including sashimi, steaming, spicy steaming, etc. Another feature of Kaikula is whale watching. You can choose to go to sea by boat to see whales, or by helicopter or fixed-wing plane from the air. But whales are not accurate and are affected by the weather.

    Kekula is one of the most beautiful towns near Cairns, surrounded by famous attractions, lush tropical virgin forests, koala parks and welcoming people. The town is not big, but the facilities are very complete and very convenient. After eating, I walked in the town and walked to the beach. It was really comfortable and comfortable.
