Just awesom!
My family and I loved the tour with Lucy and Logan. They were so friendly and made us feel safe welcome at anytime. Great knowledge of the sea, animals and history of Kaikoura. As a great, unplanned extra, we had some dusk dolphin's coming close to our kayaks and following us for a while. And these foot-pedal kayaks are so easy to use and make the adventure very comfortable. We just loved it and highly recommend to join this nice adventure!

Friendly Guides and a Memorable Adventure
I joined the Seal Kayak Kaikoura – Seal Viewing Pedal Kayak Tour and had a wonderful time. The whole experience was fun, relaxing, and easy to enjoy, even for beginners. Although we didn’t see a large number of seals, being out on the water surrounded by Kaikoura’s stunning scenery made it well worth it. Partway through the tour, our kayak had a minor issue, but our guide handled it so professionally and kindly, towing us safely back to shore. Their friendly attitude and helpfulness really made the experience even better. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable adventure that I would definitely recommend!

Super chill boat ride and wildlife tour
Was amazing, such a relaxing experience on the water. Foot peddles made it so easy and fun. We saw albatrosses, seals and dolphins, our guides Charlie and Gee were super chill and knowledgeable about marine wildlife. Will have to come back and do it again.
