How great is the Whale Trail looking! This is going to be such an asset for our coast and the Kaikōura region - it’s great to see it coming together.

The Whale Trail is looking sensational... and this is just a sneak peek! Fissenden Bros Ltd Friends of the Whale Trail

This is our last week before we close up for winter break. Thank you for all your support this year, we have loved seeing many new and familiar faces at Karaka Lobster! Our first year selling our w**e at the cafe, which was a huge milestone for us! Plenty of crays, laughs and coffees over the summer. Have a great winter, see you back next summer ✨✨✨🦞🌴🥂

As always, we love a few winter changes. Send us a message if you would like any additions for next summer - we would love to hear from you!

Thanks! The Karaka Lobster Team ✨🦞
