Seals & Stars Experience

Embark on an unforgettable journey that combines the magic of Kaikōura’s coastal wildlife with the awe of the southern night sky. Our Seals & Stars Experience, in partnership with Seal Kayak Kaikōura, offers an exclusive opportunity to explore the sea and the stars in one amazing adventure.

Part 1: Seal Kayak Tour

Your day begins with the Seal Kayak Tour, a unique opportunity to glide hands-free through the crystal-clear waters of the Kaikōura Peninsula. As you paddle along the stunning coastline, you’ll get up close to the playful New Zealand Fur Seals in their natural habitat, watching them frolic and dive in the wild. The tranquil waters and dramatic landscape provide a perfect backdrop for your seal encounter, and you’ll also have the chance to spot other marine life, including dusky dolphins and a variety of seabirds. Your expert guides from Seal Kayak Kaikōura will ensure you experience this marine adventure safely and with minimal disruption to the wildlife.

Break and Refresh

After your exhilarating kayak adventure, take some time to unwind. Explore the local sights in Kaikōura, enjoy a fresh seafood meal, or simply relax while soaking in the spectacular views of the ocean and mountains.

Part 2: Moana Skies Stargazing Tour

As night falls, your journey continues with our Moana Skies Stargazing Tour. Step away from the light pollution of the town and into the wonders of the southern night sky. Under the guidance of our passionate astronomers, you'll use high-powered telescopes to view planets, star clusters, and distant galaxies in stunning detail. Discover the rich Maori stories behind the constellations, and learn about the latest space discoveries as you explore the Southern Hemisphere's most iconic sights, including the Milky Way and the Southern Cross. The combination of a clear, unpolluted sky and expert guidance makes this stargazing experience truly magical.
