We're Dane & Stacey — a couple of nomadic travellers from little New Zealand, doing big things. In early 2017 we booked a one-way ticket to Thailand and traveled for 3 years non-stop... but travel has changed for everyone since late 2019 obviously.
Now we spend most of our time in New Zealand, experiencing our own country through the eyes of a tourist and sharing that all here, with you.
And for what it's worth, it's pronounced Dane-Ger, aka Danger... not Dan-E-Ger ????

Whale watching in Kaikoura, New Zealand
The Kaikoura Peninsula extends into the sea south of the town, and the resulting upwelling currents bring an abundance of marine life from the depths of the nearby Hikurangi Trench. The town owes its origin to this effect, since it developed as a centre for the whaling industry. The name Kaikoura means 'meal of crayfish' (kai - food/meal, kōura - crayfish) and the crayfish industry still plays a role in the economy of the region. However Kaikoura has now become a popular tourist destination, mainly for whale watching (the sperm whale watching is perhaps the best and most developed in the world) and swimming with or near dolphins. There is also a large and readily observed colony of southern fur seals at the eastern edge of the town. At low tide, better viewing of the seals can be had as the ocean gives way to a rocky base which is easily navigable by foot for quite some distance.

Whale watch Kaikoura New Zealand
Giant Sperm Whales are the biggest of the toothed whales and the world's largest predator. They are equivalent in size to four elephants. They can grow up to 20 metres and weigh over 50 tons.
This deep-diving whale (up to 3 km) may stay submerged for over two hours while hunting prey such as the Giant Squid.
Sperm Whales have the largest head, proportionally, of any animal. This giant head contains a fibrous tank full of white waxy oil early whalers thought was sperm. It is believed the oil tank amplifies the whales powerful acoustic clicks used for echolocation and hunting.
We saw 7 sperm whales and a few dolphins, wich is quit a lot in one tour.
