This was a fantastic...

Published on Mar, 2025

This was a fantastic activity to do in Kaikoura! I'm not the most physically fit person, but I was able to enjoy the kayaks. They were very easy to move around with the pedals and we could get right up close to the seals that put on a bit of a show for us. The tall guys were full of knowledge and facts and made the experience fun. I 100% recommend this activity!

Great pedal kayak experience at sunset

Published on Feb, 2025

Logan and Eva were both very knowledgeable. Very professional, but also really relaxed and friendly. We had a great time. Never pedal kayaked before. Maximum result..least effort, so I would say most people could do this. Saw some fur seals in and out of the water and a great sunset over the ocean. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

Well managed trip for a close up for fur seals

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guides looked after us well, clearly knew their stuff,. and we're passionate about what they do. They expertly guided us to the seals, where we saw the cute little things close up, watched their playful nature, and heard interesting information about what they were doing. The pedal kayaks were easy to use and we felt safe at all times.

Highly recommended.

Great experience! The pedal-kayaks are a brilliant way to see the seals, and our guides Logan and Conner were superb and really knew their stuff.

Great tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great trip. We were a bit skeptical about the idea of pedal kayaks - we envisaged something like pedalows. UWe were so wrong- the mechanism is incredibly I clever ( think penguin wings) and far more effective than conventional paddling. Great tour with very knowledgeable and friendly guide and plenty of fur seals and other wildlife!!
