Seals, Smiles, and Stunning Scenery!

From start to finish, this was an incredible experience! Our guides were charismatic, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour so much fun. Paddling (or rather pedalling!) along the Kaikōura coastline was breathtaking, and getting up close to the seals in their natural habitat was unforgettable. The pedal kayaks were an interesting twist, although I personally would have preferred traditional paddles. We also spotted other marine life during the tour, which was an unexpected and amazing bonus! One small note: if you’re in an odd-numbered group, you may need to share a kayak with another solo traveller. I didn’t mind, but would have preferred my own. Overall, an absolutely fantastic experience and a must-do when visiting Kaikōura!

Fantastic Morning Kayaking

Our sunset kayaking was cancelled due to windy weather. And our trip was re-scheduled to the next morning. It was a fantastic morning kayaking with seals and waves on the sea and we were the only group that morning. Really nice experience and I think I'll book again for a sunset trip when I go to Kaikoura again.

We had a wonderful trip with Seal Kayaks Kaikoura. The pedal system is easy and the kayaks top notch. The water, weather, wild life and sunset all stunning. I’ll definitely do this trip again.
