아주 굿

물개를 가까이서 볼수있어서 참 좋았습니다. 운좋게 펭귄도 봤어요~ 페달 카약이라는 점이 가장 큰 장점이라고 생각합니다 남들 힘들게 팔로 저을때 저희는 편하게 앉아서 발로 밟으면 되니깐요~ 게다가 가이드분이 엄청 친절하셨어요!!

Pedal kayaks are brilliant

We had never used pedal kayaks before but these were a real treat. So much easier than regular kayaks. We managed to see some seals and generally enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend

Amazing !!!

Logan est un accompagnant vraiment adorable : gentil, patient et très cultivé. Le kayak est très facile, même pour les débutants. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des otaries et des pingouins bleus. Nous étions ravis de cette expérience, un super moment ! Logan is a wonderful guide — very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Kayaking is really easy, even for beginners. We were lucky to see seals and little blue penguins. We were absolutely thrilled with the experience — such a great time!

Seals, Smiles, and Stunning Scenery!

From start to finish, this was an incredible experience! Our guides were charismatic, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour so much fun. Paddling (or rather pedalling!) along the Kaikōura coastline was breathtaking, and getting up close to the seals in their natural habitat was unforgettable. The pedal kayaks were an interesting twist, although I personally would have preferred traditional paddles. We also spotted other marine life during the tour, which was an unexpected and amazing bonus! One small note: if you’re in an odd-numbered group, you may need to share a kayak with another solo traveller. I didn’t mind, but would have preferred my own. Overall, an absolutely fantastic experience and a must-do when visiting Kaikōura!
