What is the best time to visit Kaikoura?

Although dolphins can be spotted year-round here, there are two main whale and dolphin spotting tours are either from May to October, when the most number of migrating whales are spotted or during spring/summer when blue whales and orcas can be seen. The most rainfall occurs from March to August, and many whale and dolphin tours get cancelled during this time.
