Excursion geniale

Mem si le temps etait couvert, nous avons adores notre excursion. Le coupe vent et gilet de sauvetage sont fournis, les kayaks supers simples a manier. Nos 2 guides etaient supers sympas et nous ont expliques pleins de choses sur la faune marine, et sur la NZ. Meme si nous avons vu juste des phoques on a kiffes l'experience. A recommander ?

Bonne expérience

Bon accueil et bon encadrement des animateurs. Maniement aisé des kayaks. Nous avons pu approcher de très près les otaries qui nageaient autour de nous. Nous avons eu la chance de voir deux pingouins. A recommander.

Amazing experience

En: It was an amazing organised tour. Levi the owner and Josh our guide are really really nice and pro. They are very organised and they were in radio contact all the time to make sure the conditions are ok so we feelt very safe. The kayaks are new and very easy to use because you can paddle or pedal. It was my first time with pedal and it's fast and easy. We did the morning tour at 9.30am and we were so lucky we have seen seals, a little blue penguin and a lot of dolphin!! It was incredible ! I highly recommend this tour and this company seal kayak kaikoura. Two french girls Fr: C'était un incroyable tour organisé. Levi le propriétaire et josh notre guide sont vraiment super sympa et professionnel. Ils sont très organisés et ils étaient en contact radio tout le temps pour s'assurer que les conditions étaient favorables donc nous nous sentions en sécurité. Les kayaks sont neufs et très facile d'utilisation parce que tu peux soit pagayer soit pédaler. D'ailleurs c'était ma première fois avec des pédales et j'étais un peu sceptique mais finalement c'est très rapide et facile à manier. Nous avons fait le tour de 9h30 le matin et nous avons été vraiment chanceuse puisque nous avons vu un petit puiguoin bleu, des otaries, et surtout beaucoup de dauphins qui sont venus tout autour du kayak. C'était incroyable! Je recommande vivement ce tour et cette compagnie seal kayak kaikoura.

Super expérience

Super expérience, l encadrement est top. La sortie se fait en petit groupe maxi 8 et le kayak à pédales est bien moins fatiguant que en pagayant :-)
