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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing experience

This was our second time with Seal Kayaks Kaikoura. Our daughters absolutely loved it, as did both of us. We were lucky enough to have a playful baby seal come right up to our kayaks, and saw lots of seals. When we went in winter, we also saw a pod of dolphins and a little blue penguin! Definitely an experience not to be missed :) Connor is a fantastic guide who really knows his stuff. Thanks Levi and team!

Fantastic!

Fantastic morning tour with Conna. Moved the time to slightly earlier due to some upcoming wind and we had perfect conditions. Saw seals in and out of the water, saw a Hector's dolphin and even a humpback whale all along the stunning backdrop of Kaikoura. Great guiding from Conna who was awesome and had so much information about kaikoura and its wildlife. Paddle kayaks were fun and really easy to use, would definitely come again!!
