Great operator. In time and full of enthusiasm for what they do. Saw lots of deals and got up and very close - including with babies. Fantastic experience and warmly recommend. Kayaks can go only so far and most seals are in rocks that boats can access. Wetsuits were great quality, as were the instructors. Thank you.

It was an amazing experience. We saw plenty of seals playing in the water and sitting up on the rocks. From the get go the staff made it a super easy time, with separate, big change rooms, to quick and easy fittings of wetsuit and other gear. It was a short van ride, then boat ride. I recorded the swim on my Garmin Dive watch and we were in the water for about 40 mins and swam about 750m. Keep in mind this is with thick wetsuits and fins on, plus I might of been getting a bit excited and trying to play and keep up with the seals. The group was small and we were able to spread out a bit. Its also not very deep but too deep to stand. I have dived with the seals in South Africa and Sea Lions in Western Australia. What stood out to me about the Kaikoura seals is that although there aren't as many in the water they are much nicer then the South African ones, and more playful the sea lions making this an awesome and funny experience for anyone. For the price this experience is definitely a must do if you have ever thought about it, also if you never have. Kaikoura was my partners favourite destination on our South Island road trip, and he only does experiences like this cause I want too and this tour was a highlight for him. If you've read this whole thing, go ahead and book! P.S be prepared for the cold water.

It was such an awesome experience! Led by professional, patient, informative guides Ryan and Lucy, we had a spectacular day with heaps of seals. They swam near us and around us and on the rocks. The company fitted us in the day before we were booked due the weather forecast. They were so accommodating, we would recommend this to everyone who feels they can do it! Thank you Kaikōura Seal Swim!!

This was one of the best experiences of our trip to New Zealand! Very well organized and in a pleasantly small group. The welfare of the animals is paramount and it was so much fun to swim with them.

I truly had a great experience with Ryan and Lizzie They are a highly professional duo who went above and beyond to deliver an outstanding experience. Their dedication and effort were clearly seen and genuinely felt. And being that close to seals was just once in a lifetime experience Highly recommended

I was excited to go for a second time on this tour (last time was 2019) and it did not disappoint - in fact it was even better than last time. There were only 6 of us and 2 guides which meant it felt super safe out in the sea and we got loads of direction for where to spot seals. We were lucky that it was a warm day and it didn’t take long for some playful seals to take a dip and cool off with us in the water. We were nose to nose and belly to belly with some particularly adventurous ones (of course staying a respectful distance and waiting to see if they came to us). As this had only just restarted after Covid their hot showers weren’t running yet so we were guided to a local spa for a free hot shower to help warm us up. For anyone who loves animals and wants to get up close in a way that is safe and sustainable I really recommend this tour and company. Thanks again to the team!!! :-)

I absolutely loved the tour. Communication was clear from the very beginning. The tour was delayed by an hour due to low tide, which actually increased our chances and I truly appreciated that this was taken into consideration. The team kept me well informed throughout and checked whether the change was okay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the experience itself was truly unforgettable. I’m very grateful to have been part of such a special event in my opinion, this was far more meaningful and memorable than swimming with dolphins. I really loved it!!

This was such an incredible experience. The company provided thorough information on what to expect, what to bring, and where to meet at what time. We felt fully prepared and enjoyed the entire experience. After getting equipped with everything you need to stay warm in the water, you get to take a fun boat ride out to the colony. They even had some prescription goggles that my husband was able to use, and he said he hasn’t been able to see so clearly while snorkeling since he was a kid! The guides are amazing and provide great information about the seals, and we felt really good about respecting the seals space, and being thoughtful stewards of the environment. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the marine life more closely. Seals swam right under us and around us, I have never experienced anything like it. Do not miss this experience in Kaikoura!

My partner and I did this tour last week and it was so much fun! The crew was friendly and professional and they had a great system worked out for getting us geared up, to the water, and swimming with the seals. I’ll definitely look to do this tour again next time I’m in town!
