“This Seal Kayaking excursion was awesome! Connor was our guide and he was super knowledgeable about the Kaikōura coastline, and the wildlife living there. The foot pedal Kayaks used by this company are very easy to peddle and steer which gives you the ability to take pictures of the animals in the water. During our trip, we had a small pod of dolphins swimming around us, we saw native a blue penguin, and several coastline birds. My husband and I were lucky enough to get a very small tour, and when my husband started feeling seasick, Connor was very accommodating. What a great company and guide!”
