Old Wharf
★★★★☆
(190)
8 minute drive from Daves Diving Kaikoura behind the Fyffe House. Entry/Exit point is located at the old boat ramp that is deused. Note that Boats launch from the beach do take care. The yellow ’No Fishing’ Buoy is a reference for you surface swim.
This rocky reef is a perfect climate for the native Blue Moki, the reef octopus are a common sight and Crayfish are abundant.
