It's not
known as New Zealand's sunniest province for nothing! Marlborough's clear, sunny skies and
diverse landscape encourages a relaxed lifestyle. Marlborough has a wide and varied range
of recreational activities from which to choose: tramping in the region's native
forests; fishing trout-filled rivers; discovering the Sounds' sheltered bays; seeking
out the humpback whale; exploring Marlborough's high backcountry. And all easily
within reach of the region's towns.
Whether your interest lies with sea-kayaking or sea cruising, wine or
wildlife, Marlborough is a great place to chill-out!

The seaside township of Kaikoura takes its name from the legend of the mythical warrior Tamatea-Pokai-Whenua who, while chasing some of his runaway wives, stopped along the way to make a meal of crayfish. Although the township's name means "to eat crayfish", it is said that its full name is Te Ahi-kai-koura-a-Tamatea-pokai-whenua, meaning "the fire which Tamatea-Pokai-Whenua made to cook crayfish".
