4WD Scenic Sea-Kayaking Safari

Discover the wild beauty of the Pōhatu Marine Reserve on a guided kayaking adventure along its dramatic outer coastline. From the water, you will gain a unique perspective of towering sea cliffs, rugged rock stacks, colorful reefs, and deep sea caves sculpted by nature over countless years. When sea conditions are calm, the journey is made even more special with a paddle to Flea Bay Island, where an impressive natural island arch stands as a striking highlight, adding excitement and unforgettable scenery to the experience.

This coastal kayak tour is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with the abundant wildlife of the area. Keep an eye out for penguins swimming through the clear waters, seals lounging on rocky shores, and a wide variety of seabirds gliding overhead. With a bit of luck, you may even encounter the rare Hector’s dolphin, the smallest dolphin species in the world. No prior kayaking experience is required, making this adventure suitable for beginners. Trips are operated only in safe, settled conditions and are led by experienced, knowledgeable guides who place your safety and enjoyment above all else.
