Mount Fyffe on the Inland Kaikoura route

Summer-bare or plastered with winter’s snowy coat, Mount Fyffe and the Seaward Kaikōura Range dominate the Kaikōura skyline. These little-known mountains safeguard some unusual natural inhabitants, and provide recreation opportunities ranging from a family stroll to a serious back country journey. Mt Fyffe (1602 m) offers superb views over the Kaikōura plains and peninsula and on a clear day the view at higher levels includes Banks Peninsula and the North Island.
