Paddle with Playful Seals in Kaikōura

A Kaikoura Seal Kayak Tour offers a unique chance to meet New Zealand Fur Seals up close in their wild coastal environment. With two hours on the water, there’s plenty of time to soak in the scenery, spot seals lounging or swimming nearby, and enjoy a relaxed pace throughout. The Hobie Pedal Kayaks make it all the more enjoyable—hands-free, stable, and perfect for snapping photos or simply taking it all in.

This tour is perfect for travellers wanting both wildlife and peaceful time on the water. Kaikōura's backdrop of ocean and mountains sets the scene for a memorable day out.
