Paia Point
Kaikoura, New Zealand
Paia Point, adjacent to the Hikurangi Marine Reserve, offers an exceptional diving experience. From the Paia Point Campground, divers can spot two rocky reefs that showcase vibrant marine life. While the shore entry can be tough and the surface swim may take up to 20 minutes, the diverse ecosystem teeming with fish, fur seals, and dusky dolphins makes it worthwhile. It's also a prime location for crayfish enthusiasts.
