You’ll regret NOT booking a tour with these guys! - Loved the trip! The two very welcoming guides Eva and Connor made lead us on an amazing 3hr journey. They were kind, showed us around the seals and made some funny jokes to round up the experience. The pedal hands free propelling system actually made the trip very easy. It’s not even that expensive, so go support this independent run business and enjoy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - would come again!

A great evening - Great sunset trip - saw seals both lounging about and playing in the surf and a large pod of dolphins passing through doing twirls and back flips

Seals and kayaks! - What an amazing experience. Kind, friendly guides. Really cool peddle kayaks which make the kayaking so much easier. We have a Hobie cat catamaran at home. Guides were very knowledgeable about the area, the fur seals, the tectonic changes to the area we launched out of. Really recommend this experience!!

This was a fantastic... - This was a fantastic activity to do in Kaikoura! I'm not the most physically fit person, but I was able to enjoy the kayaks. They were very easy to move around with the pedals and we could get right up close to the seals that put on a bit of a show for us. The tall guys were full of knowledge and facts and made the experience fun. I 100% recommend this activity!

Great pedal kayak experience at sunset - Logan and Eva were both very knowledgeable. Very professional, but also really relaxed and friendly. We had a great time. Never pedal kayaked before. Maximum result..least effort, so I would say most people could do this. Saw some fur seals in and out of the water and a great sunset over the ocean. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

Well managed trip for a close up for fur seals - Our guides looked after us well, clearly knew their stuff,. and we're passionate about what they do. They expertly guided us to the seals, where we saw the cute little things close up, watched their playful nature, and heard interesting information about what they were doing. The pedal kayaks were easy to use and we felt safe at all times.
