Kaikoura’s Original Kayak Operator – Est. 1998
Celebrating 27 Years of Adventure!

Experience the magic of Kaikoura’s coastal waters on our Sunset Evening Kayaking Tour, one of the most popular activities in the region!

Watch playful New Zealand fur seals dive and swim beneath your kayak as the sun sets over the majestic Seaward Kaikoura Mountains. The changing light creates surreal reflections across the bay while seals hunt for their favorite meal—octopus—right before your eyes. Keep a respectful distance as they feast, and soak in the natural spectacle of the evening light show.

As you paddle along the stunning Kaikoura Peninsula, enjoy:

Breath-taking scenery of sheer cliffs, craggy rocks, and snow-capped peaks

The chance to encounter Dusky Dolphins and Little Blue Penguins

Our professional local guides, fully qualified in sea kayaking, ensure your adventure is safe, educational, and unforgettable.
