Kaikoura is a surf destination that you must see and experience! With a deep ocean trench coming close to land, it provides grunty south swells that fire along its majestic coastline. Amoung the jewels found in this region are: The epic Kahutara right-hand point break that can handle big swells, and Mangamanu (Halfmoon Bay), a dreamy right-hand point break with National protected status. There are also a large number of memorable beach breaks, like swell-magnet Meatworks and the new town break. Enjoy a multitude of fun flat day activities too, from whale, seal and dolphin watching, to scenic walks and flights. Don't forget to try some crayfish, the town's namesake!
