5.00Amazing experience kayaking among a pod of dolphins! The guides were very knowledgeable, and I really appreciated the knowledge they shared of the area and the wildlife. We might have just been lucky, but being so close amongst the dolphins was an experience not to be missed. The weather was also amazing, warmer on the water than I expected so no special clothing required.
Whale breath...wow!

5.00From getting tix with Grace to chasing April the whale with Holt, the trip and company rock! We were surprised twice on the tour. Once by dolphins popping up just next to our kayak and once (ok, about 5 times) by the glorious, malodorous scent of whale breath. Dang, pure rank. Who would have thought. Something specoal to experience I guess. All part of getting so close to nature! Just book your tour. :-)
Dolphins, Dolphins, and More Dolphins!

5.00We had an exceptional morning wildlife kayak adventure. The crew was fantastic. We encountered a pod of more than 100 dusky dolphins and our entire group was thrilled. It was one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand.
Great trip, would recommend

4.00On arrival at the office we did the usual waivers and got ready for the trip. Shuttle to the bay. Good briefing and kitting up with neoprene boots, splash jacket, buoyancy aid (kept us warm on a grey day). Basic tuition on using the paddles. There was a reasonable swell but it was a very enjoyable experience. With the briefings, shuttle etc you are out on the water for about 1.5 hours which is long enough. You need to help get the boats down to the water and back up. We saw close up various seals in the colony and a number of different birds. The guide (Teal) was very informative and it was very interesting about the seals, whaling etc

5.00What an amazing experience. 2 ladies of a certain age not sure what to expect but willing to give it a go. The crew were amazing. Very thorough with the training/briefing on land prior to entering the sea. Once on the water we felt safe with our 1st guide Teal and then Robbie who took us as close as possible to see the sea lions. We just loved seeing the sea life and enjoying the scenery. We didn't want it to end. A marvellous experience all round. Thank you guys for your care and patience.
Wow! A great experience!

5.00Amazing kayak experience. The tour company tracked wildlife in the area, informed the guides, who then guided us to a group of over 300 dolphins. It was incredible.
Great day!
