Kaikoura Whale Watch won the supreme prize at the Responsible Tourism Awards in London recently, after taking top honours in the "best in a marine environment" category. The awards are described as the ‘Oscars’ of responsible tourism.

Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island and only 2.5 hours by car. A great way to get your bearings on Christchurch when you fly in is to take a quick guided bike tour of the city on the two hour city bike tour.
