The Kaikōura Peninsula is located on the northeast of New Zealand's South Island. It protrudes 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) into the Pacific Ocean. The town of Kaikōura is located on the north shore of the peninsula. The peninsula has been settled by Māori for approximately 1000 years, and by Europeans since the 19th century, when whaling operations began off the Kaikōura coast. Since the end of whaling in 1922 whales have thrived and the region is now a popular whale watching destination.
