Welcome to Kaikōura Kayaks and our award-winning guided wildlife kayaking tours with 100% success rate for viewing the NZ Fur Seals.
This adventure takes you around the beautiful coastal waters with breathtaking views of sheer cliff faces, craggy rocks, and mountain ranges while searching for chance encounters with Dusky Dolphins and Blue Penguins.
As we paddle, experience the excitement of watching Fur Seals ducking, weaving, and diving around your kayak, and look out for Blue Penguins, Albatross, and playful Dusky Dolphins.
Then watch as seals swim around the Kaikōura Peninsula hunting for their favorite feed of Octopus. Be sure to keep your distance as they devour their delicious dinner in front of you, then watch in amazement as hundreds of Pelagic (ocean-going) birds swoop in to clean up the tasty leftovers.
Our traditional sea kayaks are enclosed, safe, stable, easily steered using a rudder, while fast on the water and you will stay warm and dry. Families, individuals, and groups are most welcome.

Kayaktour im Meer
Eine Kayaktour im Meer ist eine ganz andere Erfahrung, als im Fluss: Das Wellenreiten hat mir großen Spaß gemacht und auch die Seelöwen vom Wasser aus zu beobachten. Leider war die Gruppe etwas größer, weswegen die Vorbereitungszeit ein bisschen gedauert hat. Brad und John sind zwei super sympathische Tourguides und haben sich sehr gut um alles gekümmert.

Hat alles gepasst
Die gebuchte 8:30 Tour fiel aufgrund Wetter aus. Ein Lob für die super Kommunikation und den Anruf. Es wurde direkt auf 12:30 umgebucht. Da passte dann alles. Die Kayaks sind modern und fit, der Service sehr gut und Maria als unser Guide war sehr informativ und hatte die richtige Brise Humor. Wir haben Delfine gesehen, jede Menge Seehunde und sogar einen Seehund auf dem offenen Meer, der einen Oktopus verspeiste und ihn immer wieder hin und her warf. Alles in allem super, auch für den Preis. Hier stimmt alles.

Glad you think everything is "right" here and that you had such a great time with Maria! Thanks Again.

Lustig und entspannt
Die super freundlichen Jungs von Kaikoura Kayaks, haben uns mit einem strahlenden Lächeln empfangen. Auch die telefonische Kontaktaufnahme war kein Problem und freundlich. Man hat die ganze Tour über gemerkt, dass die Jungs ihren Job wirklich gerne machen. Das bereitgestellte Equipment war super in Schuss. Es war eine wunderschöne Erfahrung die kleinen Pinguine (zwei konnten wir sichten), so nahe zu beobachten. Auch die Seehunde kommen faszinierend nahe. Die Guids erklären auch immer etwas zu den Tieren die man zu Sicht bekommt. Leider konnten wir keine Delfine sehen aber das ist halt wildlife watching :). Alles in allem hat uns diese Tour viel Spaß gemacht! :) Danke an das Team.

Thanks heaps, glad the team @ Kaikoura Kayaks could help you guy's have a memorable time out around the Kaikoura Peninsula and even find two penguins. Our crew have a wealth of knowledge of the area, marine life and water sports. Thanks again for the positive feedback!

Wenig Robben, trotzdem Erfahrung wert
Ich hab nur 60$ für die Tour bezahlt anstatt die 100$ und für das Geld war die Tour wirklich gut. Die Tour geht angeblich 3 Stunden, aber eigentlich ist man nur 1 1/2 Stunden auf dem Wasser. Meine Tour begann um 8:30 und leider waren kaum Robben im Wasser und dann sagte uns der Tourguide, dass die Robben nachtaktiv sind ... Totzdem die Kayaktour auf dem Meer super, viele hohe Wellen und unglaubliche Aussicht!

Großartiger Trip!
Eine tolle Erfahrung, die wir nicht missen möchten! Das Team war super nett und hat uns sehr gut auf den Ausflug vorbereitet. Auf dem Weg zu den Robben tauchte ein Schwarm Delfine auf, der uns dank der erfahrenen Guides bald begleitet hat. Überall um uns herum, unter und neben uns waren Delfine. Unvergessliche Momente. Danke, wir würden es sofort wieder machen.
