Kaikoura is world famous for its Sunsets and marine life, so what better way to experience this than by sea kayak!
The Sunset Evening Classic tour has left a lasting impression with people from all over the world for the past 18 years with guaranteed viewing of Fur Seals and surreal visuals of the seaward Kaikoura Mountains as the light changes towards the end of the day.
Watch seals dive and manoeuvre around and under your kayak as the sunsets, paddle with them as they swim around the Peninsula hunting for octopus! Along your way keep an eye out for Blue Penguins or Albatross then have chance encounters with Dusky Dolphins.
Using our top of the line real sea Kayaks be ready for a true kiwi experience you won't forget!
The Kayaks are enclosed, safe, stable, easily steered using a rudder, while fast on the water and you will stay warm and dry.
Our qualified and experienced local guides will paddle you through areas used years ago by local Maori and early whalers as you watch the light change and the day draws to an end.
The Sunset Evening Classic sea kayak tour is the real deal and is suitable for all ages and abilities, no experience is needed as our guides will teach you all you need to know. Families, individuals and groups are most welcome!
Don't forget your camera for sunset shots and to capture marine life encounters.
We look forward to paddling with you on Kaikoura Kayaks famous Sunset Evening Classic tour while viewing the marine life and promise that it will leave a lifetime impression...
Awesome kayaking experience. As a novice I was well looked after and the guide Hamish was kind and considerate, allowing for appropriate rest times. After paddling for a while, we saw hundreds of fur seals in their colony, then went further around the coast and were lucky to see a blue penguin also. We were out kayaking for the allotted time and during this the guide shared his local knowledge. It was a fun and challenging experience. Highly recommended and glad I didn't chicken out about doing it.
Thanks for the support Paulah! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip:) Many thanks, the friendly team at Kaikoura Kayaks
