Fun adventure and opportunity to get up close to dolphin and seals.
Thanks for the 5-star review:) We hope to see you again for another up-close experience!
An incredible trip for sunset kayaking. It was the last thing we did before leaving New Zealand, and honestly it was one of our highlights. Holt and Ben were our great instructors. I will never forget seeing Dusky Dolphins close up !
Thanks for you awesome review! We're glad you had such a great time out on the water with us and seeing the Duskys in their natural habitat is super magical. I'll pass on your kind words to Ben and Holt.
It wasn't the best evening when we went out, but we had a great time, The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and they kept an eye on everyone. We had been river kayaking before but not on the sea and this was a good introduction. Price was very fair and sunset was a good time to go out as the sea was fairly calm.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are glad you where still to have a great time even if the weather wasn't quite the best😊 We’re so pleased you chose to paddle with us and the sea was nice and calm for you! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure!🦭
This is a very professional company, their equipment is good, very good guides and best of all, they want to give you a good experience. Our evening was perfect in weather, we unfortunately saw no dolphins (though we did try hard to find some) Fur seal experience was memorable in joining together in the sea and watching them and having a discussion on our surroundings. Perfectly completed by a stunning sunset. Well worth booking if you like kayaking
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so pleased to hear you found the team professional, the equipment up to standard, and the guides dedicated to giving you a great experience. We’re glad you had a memorable encounter with the fur seals and took in that stunning sunset—those moments can be just as special.
Our guide was fantastic. There were no dolphins to see, but we saw fur seals and had a beautiful sunset paddle.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time on the water and had a fantastic guide leading the way. It’s great to hear you had memorable encounters with the fur seals and were able to take in such a beautiful sunset paddle. We really appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a great time kayaking in Kaikōura! These boats were very stable and easy to navigate! The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable!
Well-organized, energetic, competent staff. Spectacular views and (with luck, which we had!) the opportunity to watch dolphins pop up all around the kayaks and display their acrobatic talents. Our guide Ben was polite , helpful, and full of interesting information on the area and its marine life species. Definitely recommend!
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience out on the water. The dolphins really know how to put on a show when they’re in the mood, and it sounds like you struck it lucky! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Ben — he’ll be stoked. Thanks for the recommendation and for paddling with us! 🐬
As a Canadian, kayaking in New Zealand for the first time, enjoyed my experience kayaking with Kaikoura Kayaking. The staff were welcoming and friendly, even though we showed up quite early for our tour. We left our meeting location on time, had ample time to go a few kilometers off shore, explored around, saw several fur seals on nearby reefs and returned back to shore within a few minutes of our expected arrival time. The staff were professional, giving a well-performed safety talk, as well as being knowledgeable about local fauna, sea birds and history. They split us into groups to go over proper paddling technique, putting on of gear and emergency procedures, if a kayak capsized. As I returned to shore and tried to get out of my kayak, my leg lost feeling and I fell over, but I was not harmed and my group's guide made sure I was okay and didn't scrape my hand. Overall, my kayaking tour was a fun and enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling through Kaikoura.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience – we’re honoured you chose to kayak with us on your first trip in New Zealand! We’re so pleased you felt welcomed 😊 and that you enjoyed exploring offshore and seeing the fur seals on the reefs. Our team takes great pride in delivering thorough safety briefings and sharing knowledge about Kaikōura’s wildlife, seabirds and history, so it’s wonderful to hear that stood out. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again if you’re ever back in Kaikōura!
Beautiful scenery. Early evening water was a bit choppy, but very manageable with one guide for every three kayaks. We saw fur seals, dolphins, and several types of birds. Bring/wear bug spray for the training that occurs while standing on the beach.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful Kaikōura scenery and felt well supported on the water with our guide-to-guest ratio — safety and comfort are always our priority. How special to encounter New Zealand fur seal, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds all in one trip — that’s what makes paddling along this coastline so memorable. Thanks again for joining us — we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
We were so lucky to see a huge pod of dolphins (estimated a c.100) playing & flipping. Not that common an experience as I understand.
Thank you for sharing this — what an incredible moment to be part of! Seeing a huge pod of dolphins, especially numbers like that, really is something special. It’s never guaranteed and very much one of those magical chance encounters with nature — which makes it all the more memorable when it happens.
