Our small group tours give you the opportunity to view the remote Catlins coast. You'll observe not only diverse and dramatic scenery but unique wildlife that call this place home.
Highlights
- Observe rare and endangered wildlife - albatross, fur seal, sea lion, cormorant and perchance the elephant seal or dolphin
- The Catlins largest fur seal and cormorant colonies
- Breath-taking scenery, including 'The Nuggets'
- Knowledgeable guide with over twenty years experience in and around this coast
- Prior kayaking experience is not necessary
We set a leisurely course along the coastline, viewing the rocky islets that give you a sense of scale only achievable by kayak. Your experienced guide will seek out the rare and endangered wildlife that inhabit this area. You’ll watch the steady activity of the fur seal colony as they play between the water and rocky shore. You’ll marvel at the albatross if it comes in close and we’ll scan the sky for the vast number of sea birds flying above. The sea lion may roar below us, a dolphin porpoise past or a blue penguin dart by. From the wave eroded rocks referred to as ‘The Nuggets’, we’ll see the envious visitors high above at The Nugget Point Lighthouse before we journey back to our historical launching bay.

Tolles Erlebnis und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen
Küste mit Leuchtturm boten ein perfektes Ambiente. Wir haben sehr viele Robben gesehen (größte Robbenkolonie in NZ!). Manche sind nahe bei uns geschwommen und eine ist sogar 10m vor uns aus dem Wasser gesprungen. Es gibt auch viele Vögel zu sehen. Wir haben uns immer sicher gefühlt. Der Guide ist super ausgerüstet. Unsere Kajak-Erfahrung ist begrenzt und trotzdem war es sehr angenehm. Er gab uns Freiheit zu entscheiden wo wir lang wollten. Er ist ein toller Typ und hat uns mit interessanten Informationen begeistert. Als Einheimischer kennt er sich gut mit dem Meer aus. Wie seine Familie hat er hier vorher als Fischer gearbeitet. Dieses Jahr (2017) hat er eröffnet. Geheimtipp!

Perfect trip
We really enjoyed our trip! We had a mint day, with perfect weather. The guide Jared really took the time to fill you in about the history, wildlife and area. We totally loved it!

Ein phantastischer Vormittag
Wir (2 Erwachsene mit 6 jähriger) hatten einen phantastischen Vormittag auf See mit Jared. Gleich zu Beginn haben wir am Strand einen Seelöwen begegnet, der an uns vorbei in die Büsche gewatschelt ist. Jared hat uns alles Notwendige gut und ausreichend erklärt. Wir haben eine wasserfeste Jacke, Spritschutz und Rettungsweste bekommen. Im entspannten Tempo sind wir am Ufer lang Richtung Leuchtturm. Kormorane, Albatrossse, Seelöwen... konnten wir dabei sehen. Ein tolles Erlebnis.
