Description
Experience the natural wonders of Akaroa Harbour harbour and marine reserve by sea kayak on a 2.5 hour sustainable tour. Paddle in one of New Zealand's most scenic and ecologically diverse natural environments. Akaroa is one of the best places to sea kayak in NZ!
A local kayak/nature guide leads each small group to ensure a personal, informative, and safe experience. We are the most sustainable tour in Akaroa and leave minimum impact on the fragile marine reserve which is our backyard.
Paddle and explore serene inlets and bays as you glide through the turquoise waters of the extinct, sea-flooded volcanic crater.
Your nature guide will guide you through the marine reserve and share information about some of the rarest marine mammals in the world including white flippered penguins and hector dolphins which are native to NZ, fur seals, a large array of birdlife and many other sea creatures! Chance sightings are very frequent during the sea kayak season! The views are stunning, there are lots of caves and features to paddle through, the guides are informative, friendly and the best in the business and our tours are suitable for all abilities.
