Best Experience Ever!!

This experience is definitely a 10/10 for me. Pedal kayak made it so easy to move around the area while your hands are free to take photos! The activity is 3 hours long and I enjoyed every second of it. Our tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. And i guess it's just luck as we managed to see dusky dolphins on our way to the seals. I definitely recommend booking this activity when you visit Kaikoura. You will not even get your feet wet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We really enjoyed using the hands-free kayaks. Saw some seals in the water, even more on land and were even lucky enough to see dolphins up close! Very fun and knowledgeable tour guides :)

Magical evening

My third trip out, this trip was made more special with the appearance of a small pod of Dusky dolphins. Viewing sunsets from the sea is always magical.

Close up on the water

We loved this trip. The kayaking was easy going because it was pedal power, and the wildlife was awesome! I'd do this again and recommend it to anyone who likes to get out on the water.
