Seehunde Hautnah

Man wird während der Tour definitiv sehr nah an Seehunde kommen und manchmal wenn sie gut drauf sind kommen sie auch indirekt zum Kayak. Der Guide war ebenfalls sehr nett und konnte einem immer mit Infos über Ergeinisse oder die dort lebenden Tiere versorgen.

Komfortable Kanus

Es waren die besten Kanus die ich je hatte - einstellbar für den Rücken, einfach wie ein Tretboot voran zu bewegen und zusätzlich noch Paddel, man kann also sehr schnell voran kommen. Man kam den Seehunden recht nah, aber leider waren nicht so viele im Wasser. Sehr Schöne - aber zu kurze Tour, vor allem wenn die anderen Gruppenteilnehmer mehr mit Fotos von sich im Kanu machen beschäftigt sind. Kleine Gruppe mit 6 Personen. Super netter Guide!

Super!

Wir haben schon zwei andere Kajaktouren auf NZ gemacht- allerdings war dies die einzige, wo man mit den Beinen "padelt". Daher hat man die Hände frei für die Kamera. Super 3h gewesen :)

Ein schöner Ausflug

Levi war sehr nett uns hat uns zunächst ein bisschen die Insel gezeigt und etwas zur Region erklärt. Wir sind dann mit dem Kayak Richtung Robben gestartet und haben tatsächlich auch ein paar gesehen. Von den Walks an der Küste sind man allerdings deutlich mehr. Mit dem Kayak hat man den Vorteil, dass man sehr nah rankommt, wenn sie im Wasser sind. Insgesamt hat die Tour nicht ganz so lang gedauert, wie beschrieben, aber wir haben eine tolle Zeit gehabt. Equipment ist top. Und mit den Füßen zu paddeln ist weniger anstrengend als mit den normalen Kayaks. Außerdem hat man die Hände frei und kann in aller Ruhe fotografieren.
