Kaikoura is a coastal town on the South Island of New Zealand, situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Seaward Kaikoura Range. The town's name reflects its Maori heritage, with 'kai' meaning food and 'koura' meaning crayfish. Known for its rich marine life and dramatic landscapes, Kaikoura has transformed from a traditional fishing village into a hub for eco-tourism and cultural experiences.
The area has a significant Maori history, with evidence of settlement dating back several centuries. The town experienced a major earthquake in 2016, which led to significant reconstruction efforts and resulted in some geological changes to the coastline.
Today, Kaikoura maintains its connection to both its maritime heritage and Maori cultural traditions, while serving as a center for marine research and conservation efforts. The local community actively preserves its cultural heritage through various initiatives and educational programs.
