Amazing experience!

We loved it! We had such knowledgeable guides who were so generous with us. Seeing the penguins from the water is definitely the best way to do it so go for the kayak if you can!!

Fantastic experience

Ben and Kevin were excellent guides. We saw so many birds, dolphins and seals. Kevin even rescued a sick penguin to take to the vet so great commitment to conservation.The kayaking was fine for beginners, it felt really safe.

Hi Rosa, Thank you very much for having taken the time to comment about your time with Ben and I. The morning you came certainly offered an extra exciting moment. You'll be happy to know that Francisco (the penguins) made it safely to Christchurch and will be coming back to us in a few weeks once the vet will be certain he can be released ^-^ Thank you kindly, Kevin.
