Return details
Paddle along the stunning Kaikōura Peninsula as the day winds down, watch the light shift across the Seaward Kaikōura Mountains as the evening colours transform the sky and sea.
Keep your eyes peeled for New Zealand fur seals resting on the rocks or swimming – we guarantee seal viewing, though their behaviour changes naturally from day to day. This is what makes observing wildlife in their natural environment special – they are completely free to behave as they choose. You may also be lucky enough to spot Dusky Dolphins during your paddle.
Our experienced local guides, fully qualified in sea kayaking, ensure your tour is safe, enjoyable, and educational. Every trip is different, shaped by the weather, wildlife, and the natural rhythms of Kaikōura’s spectacular marine environment.
Paddling time: Approximately 1.5 hours
