Although the weather was cool and misty, they provided kayak jackets, spray skirts and booties, so we stayed dry and warm. We were happy to see dusky dolphins swimming around us.

Great tour, saw a big pod of dolphins up close! Also, saw some seals and lots of shore birds. Shelem was a excellent guide.

Great equipment and very friendly staff. Leader Emma was excellent, very informative about wildlife and competently wrangled 2 older ladies around the sea without mishap. Saw a pod of dusky dolphins, seals and a variety of birds. Will was also very efficient doing the majority of the paddling. The whole day ran like clockwork even the weather was fine . Would definitely recommend them again for any ability.

We had a great kayak trip with our guides Emma and Izzy - great views of the marine life and the coastline and lots of informative commentary. A fun afternoon…

Fantastic experience and our guide Cam was great at looking after us all. Kept us together and even took some photos which he shared with us. Felt very safe and loved being out at sea with the beautiful view of the mountains.

The business was very well set up and run, from arrival to leaving. Organisation was slick, the guides were friendly and we were always comfortable. We were all in two person kayaks, and there were three kayaks in our group. We got to see some great scenery, seals and the odd penguin. I particularly enjoyed turning all the kayaks in to one great bobbing raft while watching the fur seals lolling about, but my favourite part was heading just out of the shelter of the bay and feeling the rock of the swells in the little boat! Emma our guide was a boss, never steered us wrong and kept us calm when we were uncertain of our ability, and took some great photos for us when I was too busy watching the scenery to do it myself.

We went out with Charli who was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife & made everyone feel confident and comfortable in the 2 metre swell; great guide! The company was well organised and very well equipped. Instructions were very well provided too. Seeing a Hectors dolphin or two was the highlight for us!

what an experience! We saw about 6 seals, a blue fin penguin, AND A HUMPBACK WHALE!!! we joined the 8:30am tour, everything was explained well, we felt super safe and well prepared, all staff were friendly and approachable. Once we got into the water, there were sightings of a humpback whale - I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff were at ensuring we didn’t get too close for the whales safety, but got close enough that it will stay in my mind forever. They explained the rules about why we stay in small groups and ensure we don’t get in the way of the whale on its route, which as an animal lover made it all the more special. Guide then took epic photos of everyone in the group. We couldn’t recommend enough - even without the whale this would’ve been a wonderful experience.

We had a really great time joining a sunset tour. Great communication with the company as strong winds were predicted and we were offered a different date and times. Due to our plans we couldn’t change but they kept us up to date on whether it would go ahead. We were forewarned about the conditions so we could make an informed choice, which thankfully agreed to go ahead. We were completely kitted out (boots, waterproof jacket, skirt and trousers if you wanted them) the kayaks were also much better than ones we had when we were in Norway! My boyfriend just about fit, without it being painful and he is 6”4. All our guides were great but Brad and Charli were assigned to group and they were amazing!! Brad was pointing out all the interesting birds and had great knowledge to go with them! Charli was fun and gave great tips! Thanks to you all for agreeing to take us out in the super windy conditions! Would definitely book with this company again if (hopefully when) we come back to NZ

Very friendly team who gave us a feeling of confidence and safety as well as great wildlife info. Really enjoyed paddling out amongst the rocks and seals. Also saw a little blue penguin. A perfect 2 hour paddle - Emma and Cam were fab !!

Great experience. Our brilliant guide Brad made us feel confident on the swelling sea. High light of our New Zealand trip so far. Would definitely recommend anyone to give it a go.

Had such a fun time! Our guides were excellent giving us our instructions and for giving us lessons on the local wild life, recommended for anyone travelling through the Kaikōura area

By far one of the best experiences of our life. We had guide Zoe who was absolutely amazing. We are a family of six (2adults, 4 kids) and Zoe was so friendly and interacted well with all our kids. Was such a well organised tour and loved the dolphins playing right there with us. Words certainly can't describe how amazing this tour was.

The sea kayaking tour was incredible! Cam was my guide and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made this experience unforgettable. It was a great way to see Kaikoura and learn more about the area. I'm really happy I did this tour, and recommend it to others!

Had the best morning kayaking whilst visiting family in Kaikoura. Extremely knowledgable and engaging tour guide Zoe led a fantastic trip out to the coves catered to our group, with great description of all passing wildlife (including heaps of seals and seabirds) and local geography provided . Felt very safe throughout, and appreciated the tactful way they were able to accomodate varying joint (knee) mobility amongst our group! highly enjoyed the morning, fab conditions - would definitely recommend and do again - thank you !
