Kaikoura

Kaikoura is a seaside settlement on the rugged East Coast of New Zealand's South Island. The town is located midway between Christchurch and Picton and is overlooked by majestic mountains that are snow-capped for much of the year.

Kaikoura is renowned for its eco-tourism oriented activities, including whale watching, dolphin swimming, seal swimming, walks, and much more. A deep undersea canyon just offshore from Kaikoura attracts an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being sperm whales. Other marine mammals to be found in the area include 5 other species of whale, New Zealand fur seals, and Hector's and Dusky dolphins. Kaikoura also attracts a great variety of seabirds including albatross, petrels and shearwaters.

Few places in the world can boast of such natural wonders as those offered by land and sea in Kaikoura. Whether looking for relaxation, nature, excitement, art, history and culture, or fine wines and cuisine, Kaikoura has it all.
