Few places in
the world can boast of such natural wonders as those offered by
land and sea in Kaikoura.... stunning coastal alpine scenery, whale
watching, dolphin swimming, and a host of eco-tourism oriented activities!
On the rugged
east coast of New Zealand's South Island, the seaside settlement
of Kaikoura is overlooked by majestic mountains which are snow capped
for many months of the year. The unique combination of ocean and
mountains never fails to leave visitors to Kaikoura in awe. The
township is located on a rocky peninsula, protruding from lush farmland
beneath the mountains. In the waters off this peninsula, a complex
marine system provides an abundantly rich habitat for marine mammals
and seabirds making it an ideal place for getting 'close to nature'.
Kaikoura is
renown for whale watching and is one of the few places in the world
that these magnificent creatures can be seen year round. Dolphin
and seal swimming, pelagic bird watching, fishing, diving and a
large number of other land and water based activities are also available.
