Itinerary

Kaikoura's Original Kayak Operator - Est 1998 - Celebrating 25 years of operation!
Experience the excitement of watching Fur Seals ducking, weaving and diving around your kayak on a private tour with Kaikoura Kayaks.
Paddle gently along with them as they swim around the Kaikoura Peninsula hunting for their favourite feed of Octopus.
But be sure to keep your distance as they devour their delicious dinner in front of you, then watch in amazement as hundreds of Pelagic (ocean going) birds swoop in to clean up the tasty left-overs.
This adventure around the beautiful coastal waters takes in the breath-taking views of sheer cliff faces, craggy rocks and mountain ranges while searching for chance encounters with Dusky Dolphins and Blue Penguins.
This fun tour is suitable for all ages and abilities while operating year round and doesn't require any previous kayaking experience.

    It was a hot calm day which made paddling easy. Our guide Jon was great at checking we were doing okay. He gave us lots of interesting info on the seals, and was funny too 😀. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone.

    Matt and Callum were amazing. Matt picked us up at the tender pier. He called first to confirm our meeting time. Matt was layed back when my spouse was delayed in getting off the ship. My spouse has some mobility issues and both Matt and Callum worked with us. Amazing day paddling with a post paddle lunch recommendation.

    Our whole family could go - 3 year old in the middle, 5 and 9 year olds in the front of Dad and Granny, Mum infront of personal guide. Brilliant. Kids a bit nervous, but settled well. Seals were just great - on the rocks and rolling in the ocean - preening the oil onto their coat for waterproofing, NOT just for the joy of rolling in the water, but it looks like that! HUGE mountains, so close. Great photos. Lots of fun. THANK YOU, I will be back.
