About Kaikoura

Learn more about the host city, Kaikoura.

Kaikoura is a small coastal town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand, about 180 km north of Christchurch and 130 km south of Blenheim. It is famed for its marine mammals and other sea-life, all of which you can see, some of which you can swim with, and some you can eat. In Māori, kai means "eat" and kōura is "crayfish". So Kaikoura is a place to eat crayfish!
