What a great activity to do whilst in Kaikoura! We booked a sunset kayak with Kaikoura Kayaks. The booking process online was very easy and from the moment we rocked up at their store the staff were friendly and very accommodating. When we arrived at Kaikoura in the afternoon the wind was blowing from the NE - at least 30knots or more. White caps filled the bay. We were sure the activity would be cancelled.
Alas Callum and his team assured us the activity could still go ahead in the sheltered South Bay and we were so pleased it did! What a great way to see the beauty of the marine wonderland around Kaikoura with its many fur seals with an activity that is not too arduous - in fact good fun!
The safety talk and instructions prior to getting in the water were perfect for the group and made us feel at ease. The sea kayaks they used were very stable in the conditions and we came back pretty much dry as!
Whilst out on the water the boys gave us an informative talk about the area, the bird life and the fur seals that was both humourous and interesting.
If you want to see the fur seals whilst getting out for a fun activity I can highly recommend these guys!

These guys are absolutely the best. We arranged to do a morning tour and then couldn’t get there because the road was blocked. Tyler and the guys rang us numerous times to update us on road conditions and when we finally made it, they were happy to take us whenever we got there. They have ALL THE EQUIPMENT and wet weather gear, so we were warm as toast, and Callum made our tour so enjoyable. The kids had a ball. Highly recommend these guys - you will never get service like this anywhere else!! Love Kaikoura, and love Kaikoura Kayaks. We will be back!
