Paddle Kaikoura’s rugged coast on a half-day wildlife kayak tour with guaranteed seal viewing, expert guidance, and chances at dolphins and penguins.
“The activity was a lot of fun and we managed to get all the way to see the seals despite the windy conditions. We were in 2-person kayaks and there was another family of four on the tour. Our guides were Emma and Cam, and Emma was really engaged, friendly, and patient with the guests - her work is 5 stars. It would have been nice if Cam treated the older folks who were less English-proficient with a bit more respect.”
