Reviews: Kaikōura: Kayak Sunset Tour with Seal Sightings

Guest User2026-01-04

Nice, relaxed kayaking. Our tour guide Logan had a lot of interesting information to share on seals. The pedal kayaks are easy to use and since your hands are free, it's easy to take a picture "on the go".

Reviews: Kaikoura: Whale Watching Cruise

Guest User2026-01-10

We were so lucky! Absolutely amazing to see a sperm whale so close and everyone on board was respectful and quiet so as not to stress the whales. We also saw 100s of dolphins and some albatrosses. Super modern boat that felt safe and took into account the whales' sensitive hearing and engines that do not harm other sea animals. Fantastic trip with a knowledgeable guide and genuinely committed crew.
