Kaikōura sits where the Seaward Kaikōura Range drops almost straight into the Pacific, a deep offshore canyon bringing sperm whales, dolphins and fur seals close to shore all year. Whale Watch Kaikōura, owned by the local Ngāti Kuri hapū of Ngāi Tahu, made the town New Zealand's whale-watching capital, and crayfish shacks along the coast road honour the name: kai (food) and kōura (crayfish). The town rebuilt its harbour and coastal highway after the 2016 earthquake and remains one of Canterbury's busiest visitor stops.
