Great experience. Hadn't kayaked for many years, great to get to do it again, and in a great location. Our guide was Peter. He was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the wildlife. Would recommend this trip.

The sea was perfectly calm and no wind making it a perfect day for kayaking. Everyone in the group including Quentin our guide was fun and friendly making the trip even more enjoyable. The self guided bike tour around the crater rim was magical and the Ebikes made it much less challenging so that you can enjoy the views and explore even beyond the recommended route without it being a hardcore workout.

We had a fantastic time out in the Harbour! We booked through Bookme which was smooth, and were contacted by the company to say that because the weather was good, we would go further and was that ok - yes!! Peter was a great guide, chatty, informative and made everyone feel welcome. We were lucky enough to see seals, dolphins and lots of birds! No penguins, they are in the next bay over which is protected. We had thought about doing a wildlife cruise/swim as well but after doing this we felt we had already had an amazing experience and didn’t need to splash out on the expensive, less eco friendly tours. Peter was very thoughtful about the wellbeing of the dolphins, ensuring that when we spotted them, we didn’t approach them, but stayed nearby to see if they would come to us, which they did! What a beautiful way to enjoy nature, thanks Peter and co! Has

It was a great experience, I highly recommend it. Peter was a brilliant guide, had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable about both the cultural and geographical history. We went out on an overcast morning and got caught in a bit of rain, so didn’t manage to see any dolphins but it was still a fun experience none the less! Definitely a fun experience even if you have next to no experience like us!

We started at Onuku Marae on a calm day AND we actually saw hector dolphins. They came by and went around our Kayaks. We also saw Shags, Cormorants, seals and pubs ☺️ Highly recommended Peter, our guide on the water who was energetic and enthusiastic to ensure we see and do as much as we can.

Lovely tour. Very peaceful out on the water and lots to see up close. Very friendly and helpful tour guide, Peter, who provided a relaxed vibe and you felt like you were in good hands.

Amazing tour! Lovely being out in the water so early, lots of wildlife around and great infos by Peter, our amazing guide!

Peter gave us an amazing tour of the marine reserve. We saw Dolphins right after launch, seals and all the birds the region has to offer. Peter also told us much about the geology and both historical and cultural importance of the place. We always felt safe and as avid sea kayakers Peter also showed us some fun gaps and caves to go through - always respecting marine life and vegetation. All in all, couldn’t recommend this enough! Go in the mornings as wind will be down.

This e-bike tour was offered to me as a replacement for the.kayak safari I had booked - weather and wind were too unfavourable for being on the water. I would thoroughly recommend it as an activity to do around Akaroa. There are spectacular views to be had by getting up to the heights above the town, and an ebike is definitely needed to conquer the hills. It isn’t very physically taxing, but I would say that given the steep descents some degree of confidence on a bike is advised to maximize the enjoyment of the experience. My guide, Peter, is normally a kayak specialist but proved equally adept as a guide for the bike tour. He was cheerful and enthusiastic despite the early start and the cold wet blustery conditions, very knowledgeable (especially given that he is not a Kiwi) about the history of the area, Māori culture, the surrounding ocean and wildlife. He was attentive to my comfort and safety. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in his company and can imagine that he would be a great kayak guide as well.

Great experience! Our guide, Peter from Norwich made it very enjoyable and memorable. He provided us with a nice insight of Akaroa with it's history and some fun facts about the flora and fauna located around the beautiful peninsula. Highly recommend it! 👌

We had an amazing time with Peter! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, flora, and fauna of Akaroa, which we loved learning about. There was some wind in the beginning, and he made us feel super comfortable with the waves. It made for a true sea kayaking experience! The wind completely died down early in our trip, and we were left with the glassy harbor. Would highly recommend this experience!!

We had a wonderful morning kayaking on Akaroa Harbour. Akaroa Kayaks provided a great trip, great gear and expert and knowledgeable guiding. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic sunrise kayak tour with Greville this morning. Weather was perfect, water was calm, and Greville was great...so knowledgeable, entertaining, and fun! What a wonderful way to see the beautiful area surrounding Akoroa and get a good workout at the same time. Saw some wildlife including seals and marine birds. Heard a lot about the Maori history and geological formation of the area. Highly recommend.

Allie & Greville are the best. They made sure we had a memorable time, and took great care of us. Being out on the water is delightful.

A peaceful excursion. Got to see different birds and rare rock formations in the shoreline. Unfortunately no penguins or dolphins this time of year. However, Stuart, our guide was friendly and gave us interesting knowledge about the bay. I would recommend this, but in penguin season!
