5.00We got a bit lucky perhaps with the weather- conditions were just about perfect, and we got a bit lucky with the wildlife, not everyday you see a whale reasonably close up but the guides were fantastic, the equipment was top notch and the organisation was great. We all enjoyed the day immensly and would recommend this trip hughly. The guides were knowledgable and professionl and clealry seemed to enjoying themselves as much as we were which made for a great atmosphere.
Seeing dolphins at sea-level is brilliant!

5.00We were very lucky with the weather, scoring a calm, sunny day. The water was flat and we paddled about happily surrounded by both Bottle-nose and Hector's Dolphins. Only having a dolphin leap out of the water right in front of us (while we had the camera ready) could have made this better, and frankly, seeing dolphins swimming in the wild is soooo much better than watching a trained dolphin leaping through a hoop in a pool (sad face emoji). The boats, gear, and training/safety briefing were excellent and our guide knew a lot about the wildlife, which made for a very interesting trip. Being down at sea level gives a completely different perspective on the landscape (and seascape). It was all very well organised and run, we felt we were in good hands, and had a wonderful time. In terms of value for money, this is a winner and I highly recommend it for locals and visitors alike.
Amazing ecotour in Kaikoura

5.00It's been one of the most amazing ecotour we ever joined. Definitely our luckiest day as we encountered with dolphins, seals and jellyfishes along the way! Our knowledgeable and friendly guide Charlie was just the best. We were the first in the group that saw the dolphins as Charlie leaded us to the right direction in the first place. Then we met a male seal doing his yoga in water which was super cute to watch. Charlie also shares with us about features and behaviours of the local wild animals as well as a little bit history of Kaikoura. We would definitely recommend the trip and Charlie to anyone we know as it's totally awesome!
Fun and beautiful...

5.00Matt 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.
