Best Experience Ever!!
This experience is definitely a 10/10 for me. Pedal kayak made it so easy to move around the area while your hands are free to take photos! The activity is 3 hours long and I enjoyed every second of it. Our tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. And i guess it's just luck as we managed to see dusky dolphins on our way to the seals. I definitely recommend booking this activity when you visit Kaikoura. You will not even get your feet wet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A magical morning
Conor and Bailey led us on a magical morning on the ocean. Saw lots of little blue penguins and seals. Learned a lot. And was just fun to spend a beautiful morning pedaling - not paddling! - on the ocean.

Fantastic!
I would highly recommend to do this tour to experience beautiful south pacific ocean. I could see seals swimming very close and was very lucky to see dolphins! Dolphins swam right below us and even showed flipping jump! Kona and Bailey gave us so many information about kaikoura, living animals, etc. Thank you guys for taking us. It was very safe, dry, and less labor (thanks to peddling kayak).

I will come again next time
A very fulfilling experience. I thought it would be very dangerous, but in reality it's not at all. Even if I can't swim, I can still have a lot of fun. Simply control the pedal with foot that’s enough. I was excited to see seals and dolphins playing in the sea. I think I will come again next time, completely basking in the sunshine and enjoying the taste of the sea breeze. The staff are very enthusiastic and patient.
