4.00Lars was very knowledgeable and easy to talk too! Sadly we didn't see any dolphins as they were not out but we did spot a blue penguin swimming which was cool! Hard to take take a picture of though... it was cool to look at the peninsula from kayak and tips of what to do around Kaikoura!
A Bit Misleading

4.00Our guides were fantastic. We were safe. The thing I didn’t like is it felt like we chased after whale and dolphin boats that were so far away. It was exhausting. A lot of work heading out far into the ocean for little payout. We enjoyed the second half of the trip near the seals and the more protected bay and wish that would have been what we did the entire time. I booked this trip 10 months ago. Contacted them through email asking the best time of day to see wildlife. Was told the morning was best. We did see seals. Up close. We did see sea birds. It just wasn’t what I thought was depicted in the advertisements. A little misleading.
An unexpected surprise on the sea.

5.00We would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone with a few hours to spare in Kaikoura. The check in was easy and quick, and the safety briefing efficient and to the point. The tour led by Ben and Ollie was physically active, but taken at the pace of the slowest. Informative yet casual. Helpful but not overbearing. 10/10 from me.
Pleasant

3.00The highlight of this activity was the guides/staff , they were great, very friendly and welcoming and clearly enjoy what they do. The Kayaking was pleasant but feel underwhelmed considering the cost of the trip, the 1st hour was taken up by travel to the water and a safety induction which went on for a bit too long.
Awesome kayak trip in Kaikoura.

5.00This is an excellent paddling adventure with knowledgeable friendly guides. We paddled with Holt and Finn who had the answers to our questions about NZ history and Māori culture as well as many details about the various bird species that we saw including albatross up close and fur seals. The large stable tandem kayaks were great as well as all of the safety and instruction provided to novices. I would highly recommend Kaikoura kayaks for a great experience.
Great experience w knowledgeable and fun crew

5.00The team was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly - really made the experience! Gear provided was of good quality and super handy to be able to use their booties/ jackets, etc We saw lots of seals and birds - was disappointed to know that dolphins hardly ever happen (so the photo is a bit misleading) but it was a great trip, nonetheless.
Fun adventure!

5.00We loved the sea kayaking experience, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They gave great instructions and gave us all of the equipment we needed for the trip. It was amazing to be kayaking in the ocean, seeing the seals and many different birds. Overall, it was a wonderful and very fun experience, and I highly recommend this activity.

5.00After a thorough safety talk and guidance about technique and equipment we set out to see the seals. 2 guides were with our group of adults and a family group had a guide to themselves. They were great, attentive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were fortunate with the weather and saw the seals both in the sea and basking on the rocks. We were also lucky enough to get a visit from around 7 dolphins, swimming around and under our kayaks. Magical!
Brilliant afternoon
