“Awesome time out on the kayak. Super comfortable and easy with the peddle, definitely spoiled for future kayaking! We got up pretty close to the seal, lots of great pictures and a beautiful afternoon on the water. Both guides were excellent, super knowledgeable and made everyone in the group feel at ease. Really great Kaikoura activity!”
