Overview

Akaroa Harbour is an extinct volcano, and on this trip you paddle through it. You glide along the coastline of the marine reserve in turquoise water, poking into remote bays and inlets.

Your nature guide points out places of interest and any wildlife about, and tells the story of the volcano you're paddling through. They also take photos for you along the way at no extra cost, so your phone can stay dry.

It runs for about 2.5 hours from Rue Lavaud in Akaroa, and all the kayaking gear is supplied. You'll be asked about your sea kayaking experience when you book.
