Must-do family experience in Akaroa
A wonderful family experience in Akaroa! The sea kayaking was a good adventure, with beautiful views and friendly, knowledgeable guides who made us feel safe and welcome. Seeing the fur seals and pōhatu (little blue penguins) in their natural habitat was truly special, especially for the kids. Well organised, relaxed, and very respectful of wildlife. Highly recommended for families visiting Akaroa 🛶🐧

Great activity
Our guide Joey she is amazing and passionate and we saw lots of wildlife, including the smallest dolphins, which is not guaranteed (depending on your luck). Thank you Joey!

Don’t hesitate, just go! It’s so cool
Thank you Benoit and your team for this day, this experience, and all the explanations. By the way, you contribute to taking care of the penguins. If the weather it’s not ok they will tell you so go ahead 🤗

환상적인 경험
날씨가 약간 흐려서 걱정했지만 오히려 햇빛이 강하지 않아 카약타기에 딱 좋은 날씨였습니다. 가이드이며 기사님께서 친절하게 설명해주셨고 어렵지 않게 카약을 탈 수 있었습니다. 해안선을 따라 물개들 구경을 했고, 바다를 횡단할 때는 돌고래도 만났습니다. 돌고래 3~4마리가 저희 카약 주변에서 같이 헤엄칠 때 그 감동은 정말 잊을 수 없을 거에요. 펭귄도 몇 마리 보았고 말 그대로 생태계를 보고 듣고 만지고 왔네요. 너무 만족스러운 경험이었어요. 강력 추천합니다!
