Early Bird Scenic Kayak Safari

A Rewarding Start with Education and Conservation

No kayaking experience is required, as calm sea conditions and experienced guides make it accessible for most people. You’ll learn about local conservation efforts, especially those focused on protecting Pōhatu’s Little Penguin colony, while gliding through their sea domain. It’s a peaceful yet exhilarating way to build appreciation for this unique marine ecosystem.

After your kayak return, there’s still time to explore Akaroa’s historic charm, enjoy a coffee, or wander through the town’s early morning calm. The Early Bird Scenic Kayak Safari offers both adventure and tranquility—an unforgettable way to begin your day in Banks Peninsula.
