Scenic New Zealand road trip driving from Kaiapoi to Kaikoura, in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand's South Island.

Kaiapoi is one of the main towns of North Canterbury, north of Christchurch. The town developed in the 1850s on Kaiapoi Island, between the south and north branches of the Waimakariri River. Subsequent river works have channelled the river south of the town.

Kaiapoi was a busy port in the 1860s where its waterways allowed cutters, schooners and paddle steamers to service the needs of the early settlers. After the railway reached Kaiapoi in 1872, the port remained in intermittent use until 1967.
