New Zealand is famous for its four seasons in one day! Generally, if it&#39;s raining the tour still proceeds, but strong winds and sea swells can cause the tour&nbsp;to cancel. If you are not sure, please ring the tour&nbsp;1 hour before your scheduled tour.

This adventure will take you around the beautiful coastal waters of the Kaikoura Peninsula where you&#39;ll experience breath-taking views, sheer cliff faces, craggy rocks, and mountain tops with unspoiled views of the Seaward Kaikoura ranges. Along the way, you&#39;ll see the playful New Zealand&nbsp;fur seals basking in the sun or maneuvering&nbsp;around under your kayak.

&nbsp;

Paddle around the rugged Kaikoura Peninsula and keep&nbsp;an eye out for seals hunting for their favourite feed of octopus!&nbsp;Have your camera ready for chance encounters with dusky dolphins, blue penguins, albatross, and humpback whales!&nbsp;The tour&#39;s enclosed double sea kayaks are easy to use, stable on the water and will keep you&nbsp;warm and dry. The cockpits are fitted with lumbar support (for your back) and closed-cell foam seats and footpegs for comfort. These professionally guided kayaking expeditions adhere to the highest of safety standards. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

The tour includes a short&nbsp;briefing at the start of your adventure and includes transport, safety gear, and an enclosed double sea kayak.&nbsp;You&#39;ll get a brief introduction on kayaking and paddling and of course, the tour will cover all safety protocols. You will spend 1.5 to 2 hours paddling alongside an experienced local guide as they talk about the Kaikoura history and share their passion and knowledge on the wildlife of Kaikoura.

&nbsp;

This tour is suitable for all abilities, no previous kayaking experience is required!&nbsp;Lucky for you, this&nbsp;tour operates&nbsp;year-round!

Throughly enjoyable experience over all. We didn't see a huge amount wildlife-wise but you can’t mark the trip down based on what wild animals are doing (or not doing!)
Our guide Ru was great; friendly and helpful and relaxed. I was a solo traveller and was paired with Ru so don’t be afraid to book Thai double-kayak experience even if you are travelling alone! The scenery and over all experience of kayaking on the sea and getting up close to the seals (sea lions 😉) is incredible. And there is something peaceful and majestic about being surrounded by the birds flying and swooping all around you! 
Thank you!

Wonderful experience!

Awesome guides and awesome adventures.
