  • I can't begin to describe how amazing this experience was.

    The guides were super friendly and informative, the equipment was great and swimming with the seals was one of the best experiences of my life. You can relax and float around while seals swim right up and interact with you. When you turn away from them they are so playful and interested that they follow. There are hundreds of seals on the rocks surrounding you and I even saw some seal pups. I had gone swimming with the dolphins the day prior and if I were to choose between the two this would be my pick. If you can bring an underwater camera I'd absolutely recommend it because you will want to relive this experience over and over again.

  • This is a must do.

    Such a surreal experience swimming up close and personal with so many beautiful seals. And what made it even better was it being a kiwi family run business, the hosts are fantastic; they're friendly, funny and educational. Loved this!

  • We came to Kaikoura specifically to do this seal swim and it was all that we had hoped for!

    I highly recommend that even though the road from Kaikoura to Picton is closed, you should still come to Kaikoura and explore the town. It is a quaint ocean town and well worth the visit. I highly recommend the Seal Swim encounter as well! I took my 11 yr old and 13 year old daughters and they won't ever forget this experience!

  • A professionally run tour business with the best for the animals in mind.

    Was a lot of fun. Visibility up to 3 or 4 metres.

  • Great family run business - however seems to be slightly abrupt and unwelcoming on booking.

    Had a great day and swam with seals darting towards and around me.

    Was great to be in the water with them!

    Unfortunately we saw the seals just for seconds and only one time but anyway, its nature and its ok. We had a nice trip.
