Dave took us after the surfing to a little waterfall to see sealpuppys unfortunetly they weren't there...but it was still a nice place to see
Thanks for that little extra``

Experience the Kaikoura surfing culture from the doorstep of the wave rich Mangamaunu coastline. Only 15 km’s north of Kaikoura township.
Just offshore lays a 2km trench, where two strong currents meet. This causes a great upwelling of animal & plant nutrients to the surface. This is the catalyst for the vast population of sea life in Kaikoura.
Dusky Dolphins are residents in the Kaikoura common, Hectors are also seen along with Bottlenose. With Orca & Southern right whales dolphins also making an odd appearance. An abundance of seals line the coast & seabirds are plentiful.
Sperm whales have made Kaikoura their home all year round. Whilst the Humpbacks & Blue whales are seasonal visitors. Also, the Minke beaked whale & Southern right whales visit occasionally.
