5.00Went on the kayaking trip expecting to see some seals and seabirds. Instead we kayaked with a pod of dolphins. It was the most magical, unexpected experience, the highlight of our NZ trip. Would definitely recommend. All the guides were very professional and knowledgeable too which made it a really interesting experience.
Wonderful experience

5.00This was great kayaking and I don't kayak much. Our guide, Lawrence (Lars) was very knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent guide. We had a great time. We saw a blue penguin, many birds, fur seals and a sting ray. The kayaks are very stable and we always felt very safe! A beautiful way to possibly see some wildlife. I highly recommend this!
Wonderful day on the water

5.00My daughter and I did a private tour. Our guide was excellent and he gave us a tour of the bay and open water. We were even fortunate enough to see a Shy Albatross.

5.00We got a bit lucky perhaps with the weather- conditions were just about perfect, and we got a bit lucky with the wildlife, not everyday you see a whale reasonably close up but the guides were fantastic, the equipment was top notch and the organisation was great. We all enjoyed the day immensly and would recommend this trip hughly. The guides were knowledgable and professionl and clealry seemed to enjoying themselves as much as we were which made for a great atmosphere.
Seeing dolphins at sea-level is brilliant!

5.00We were very lucky with the weather, scoring a calm, sunny day. The water was flat and we paddled about happily surrounded by both Bottle-nose and Hector's Dolphins. Only having a dolphin leap out of the water right in front of us (while we had the camera ready) could have made this better, and frankly, seeing dolphins swimming in the wild is soooo much better than watching a trained dolphin leaping through a hoop in a pool (sad face emoji). The boats, gear, and training/safety briefing were excellent and our guide knew a lot about the wildlife, which made for a very interesting trip. Being down at sea level gives a completely different perspective on the landscape (and seascape). It was all very well organised and run, we felt we were in good hands, and had a wonderful time. In terms of value for money, this is a winner and I highly recommend it for locals and visitors alike.
