Reviews: Kaikoura: Sunset Evening Kayaking Tour

OMGGGGG.! Honestly, keeping my expectations in check I wasn’t anticipating on seeing any dolphins, but, thankfully, I was wrong.! Not only did we see dolphins we got up close & personal with them as they put on an almost 10 minute show for us. It was the most magical experience in the most magical place. The sun glistening while kayaking through the calm water taking in the beauty of Kaikōura was beyond peaceful. This was so much more than I ever imagined and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.!

We got super lucky and saw the same sperm whale diving twice, 8 orcas, a humpback whale and super many dolphins.
