Robben-Kajak-Abenteuer in Kaikoura

The whole trip was incredible, and getting so close to the seals in their natural environment was definitely a highlight. The pedal kayaking technology made it so much easier to get around, especially when keeping up with the group, and meant we could focus more on enjoying the scenery and seals rather than struggling with paddling. Charlie was great, professional and safety-conscious, but also funny and easygoing. He also had some great historical knowledge about the area, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We felt completely safe the entire time, and he was great at explaining everything and making sure everyone was comfortable. The scenery was amazing and the whole experience was unforgettable. Would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kaikōura!

Great experience - kayaks were comfy and easy to use, we had paddle canoes that let you canoe hands free which was amazing. The tour guide was great craic and kept things entertaining as we were canoeing to the seals and dolphins we saw! Highly recommend this.

Loved being out on the Kayak. Charlie was an excellent guide and was very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend!

Such an incredible experience. I cannot recommend this tour enough! The operators were very kind and excellent at communicating. The guide was friendly and very informative. We saw multiple pods of dolphins and too many seals to count. We had a fantastic expereince!

Excellence. Our family of 5 loved the experience. We were lucky enough to spot a little blue penguin toddling along, two dolphins and then got up close to witness the seals rubbing themselves down in the seaweed and shallows off the rocks. Our excellent guide was self-assured, joyful, wise, obviously loved the region for its many notable features and rich history. We learned much and laughed just enough. We were given space to enjoy the paddle and felt safe & seen the entire time. Thank you, Seal Kayak Kaikoura and Gramma Cathy! The morning will be remembered by all 3 generations present!

Great weather and enough info from guides to keep it interesting and just getting out for a fun paddle. Paddle boats easy to use and propel. We were bringing some overseas family for a tour, and as we have fished etc in the area before, were unsure if this would be any value…we were wrong! It was such a great time and so beautiful. Thanks to our guides L&C, for chill and friendly vibes.

This was amazing, we were excited to see the seals but then the dolphins came out to play and completely stole the show all the way back to shore at sunset. My Girlfriend commented, "This was the most special day of my life". More than this.... Levi our guide was an amazing host, his local knowledge and Maori language imput really made this experience all the more special. The kayaks are operated with a propeller like system driven by our legs so we were able to take some remarkable videos and photos. 10/10 for sure.

What a magical experience. We were a small group, only 4 people, and we got so lucky. There were so many seals both on lands a d in the water, swimming meter away from us. Then, dolphins. That was unexpected, but there were so many of them, even swimming under our kayak and jumping. And to finish.. a whale. Could not have asked for more.

An excellent experience from friendly knowledgeable guides (Charlie and Bailey), great equipment/explanations. No sore joints, got to see birds, seals and jumping dolphins
