Highlight of our trip so far!
We absolutely loved this kayaking experience! Saw soooo many seals both in the water and on the rocks. Our guides Emma and Cohen were super friendly, fun and professional. 100% worth doing. Stunning views, super close encounters with the seals and great guides! Support this local small business, you won’t regret it!

Kayaking with Kaikoura kayaks was awsome. The guides where very clear and educating. They were funny and freindly and they give you always a safe feeling. So they are really professionals I should say.
