Great Kayak trip at Otago Peninsula
We had a great trip with the guys from Eden Wildlife Cruises. We saw wildlife such as seelions, penguins and albatrosses from real close and had a lot of fun kayaking along the shore of Otago Peninsula.

Amazing experience
I think the kayak is the best way to see seals, sea lions and pinguins ! It wasn’t a windy day so we saw only 2 albatross (and they were far from us). Anyway, it’s was amazing ! The seals were friendly and not scared by us, it was funny! Our guide was really nice and professional.
