Scenic Kaikoura, about half way between Christchurch and Picton, is sheltered by a peninsular that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The land behind Kaikoura sweeps up to the Kaikoura Mountain Range and provides magnificent vistas of sea and snow capped mountains. Kaikoura has a permanent population of about 3,200 residents although the town has over one million visitors each summer. While eco-tourism is a major focus for local business, Kaikoura has a booming dairy farming industry as well as being a significant fishing port. The waters off the Kaikoura peninsula provide a rich habitat for marine mammals and seabirds making it an ideal place for getting close to nature. Several different species of whale and dolphin can be seen off Kaikoura at different times of the year but giant Sperm Whales are present all year round. The Kaikoura region also offers a range of popular land-based activities including Maori culture tours, bird watching, hang gliding, horse treks, farm tours, rafting, mountain biking, abseiling, 4-wheel drive tours, hunting and tramping.
