Friendly Guides and a Memorable Adventure

I joined the Seal Kayak Kaikoura – Seal Viewing Pedal Kayak Tour and had a wonderful time. The whole experience was fun, relaxing, and easy to enjoy, even for beginners. Although we didn’t see a large number of seals, being out on the water surrounded by Kaikoura’s stunning scenery made it well worth it. Partway through the tour, our kayak had a minor issue, but our guide handled it so professionally and kindly, towing us safely back to shore. Their friendly attitude and helpfulness really made the experience even better. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable adventure that I would definitely recommend!
