Sunset Paddling Through Kaikōura's Marine Magic

The Kaikoura Sunset Kayak Tour is a breathtaking way to experience the region’s rich marine life as day turns to dusk. Over a 5km paddle along the Kaikōura Peninsula, you’ll glide past rugged coastlines and into the open Pacific, home to New Zealand Fur Seals and other marine life. With hands-free pedal kayaks, your journey is smooth, scenic, and effortless.

As the sun sinks low on the horizon, the water transforms into a glowing canvas of oranges and pinks. Wildlife becomes even more active during this golden hour, giving you prime viewing opportunities in a peaceful setting. Whether you're keen to photograph the views or just soak it all in, this tour offers an unforgettable sunset experience out on the water.
