This is a must do! - Our guide, Logan, was both knowledgeable and personalable. Great kayaking, lovely seals and albatross, superb scenery. Could have stayed out all night, chilling on the sea.. would do again

Amazing pedal Kayak tour in Kaikoura - Levi was very accommodating in adjusting our tour time to fit in with our cruise ship schedule. This company is very professional and takes safety seriously. We had a wonderful tour with Ewa. She was enthusiastic, informative and entertaining. The pedal kayaks were very stable out on the water. Would highly recommend this tour in Kaikoura.

Unforgettable sunset tour with pedal kayaks - I cannot recommend this sunset kayak tour highly enough—the experience exceeded all expectations. With only 5 participants plus our guide, it felt personal and special. The seals were adorable, but the real highlight was the pod of dolphins that swam with us on the way to the seal colony. We also saw a blue penguin and an albatross. Our guide, Conner, was friendly and knowledgeable, and the pedal kayaks made it even better—extremely stable and easy to use. The whole experience was relaxed and immensely enjoyable. Don’t miss out if you’re in Kaikōura!

beautiful sunset kayak tour - We did a private tour on the pedal kayaks, wasn't sure what to expect as we're not sporty at all any more, but we both absolutely loved it. We were a bit nervous about getting soaked, getting our cameras wet or getting seasick, but didn't need to worry at all - the kayaks dealt with the swells easily and none of our camera stuff got wet. Steering and pedaling the kayaks was so much easier than normal kayaking, and allowed us to be hands free most of the time which was really handy! Our guide (Bailey) did a great job navigating us around. She was also really knowledgable about the wildlife, enthusiastic and good fun.
