Things to do in Kaikoura

Our driver and guide, Joseph, was very professional and responsible, and even took us to explore some extra views. We were so lucky to have clear weather today and saw sperm whales, dolphins, and seals!

The whale watching activity was canceled due to bad weather, but the tour guide seemed inexperienced and unable to arrange and execute a backup plan in a timely manner. When we stopped along the way, they also didn't announce the meeting time. Luckily, the group members were quite good and didn't cause any delays. The guide did provide some brief commentary along the way, and there was someone in our group who didn't understand Chinese, but the guide hardly used English to accommodate them.

Fantastic experience, safe and sturdy kayaks, easy to paddle. Wonderful watch New Zealand fur seals relaxing, swimming and playing

Absolutely great! Although I don't speak English, the tour guide was still able to make me understand the itinerary. The tour guide was excellent and very attentive. When we arrived at the place to see the seals, they asked us what we wanted to drink. The cola I wanted to drink was even ice-cold, which I couldn't have imagined. Highly recommended! 👍 They replied to emails very quickly. They replied less than 5 minutes after I sent it. Everyone involved in the process was very good. They brought warmth to my Wellington trip. Thank you for your service and I wish you good business. If I can come to New Zealand again in the future, I will definitely come again!!!

instructor: sam is my instructor and captain supper cool person i ever met in Nz.

It was a choppy ride with gale warning and high chance of sea sickness. Thankful that the ride proceeded and we got to see marama and tiaki whales and a school of dusky dolphins and fur seals
