Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand

 

Located on a key whale migration route, Marlborough Sounds is a fantastic location for spotting various whales, as well as five dolphin species. The site has transitioned from a history of whaling to conservation, with a strong desire to preserve the area as cetacean populations are on the rise again. In April 2018, the construction of a full-sized, 15m humpback whale replica began, located nearby the port, to help the Sounds communicate its history and to spread a global conservation message.
