Explore Kaikōura's spectacular coastline from water level on a private day tour from Christchurch, exclusively for your group, where the Southern Alps rise from the Pacific. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so no one needs to drive. You follow the scenic coast north, then join a guided sea kayak along a shore famous for its wildlife, gliding close to resting fur seals and seabirds and, with luck, dusky dolphins, while your guide shares the natural history. Stable kayaks and full gear make it achievable with moderate fitness, on sheltered routes chosen for the day. A fresh seaside lunch is included. Includes complimentary hotel pickup, drop-off and a premium private vehicle with your own guide.
