We also suggest you explore the Rainbow Warrior ship wrech, Cathedral Cove and Lake Taupo. On the South Island we recommend Kaikoura, where you can swim with dolphins. You may have a chance to see the great dolphin with a length of up to 3 metres or the smallest and rarest dolphin, the Hector dolphin, found only in this part of the world.
