What you can expect

  • Your guide will collect you from your accommodation or at the designated pickup point. Make your way to Lyttleton Harbor as you drive over the Port Hills via Dyers Pass. Enjoy stunning views of the mountains and coast. Your sea kayak journey begins and ends from a beach in Lyttelton Harbour, 45 minute drive from Christchurch’s city centre. Your guide will go through a safety briefing and teach you basic paddle strokes and how to steer your boat before heading off.

    Paddling towards the head of the harbor, explore the many small bays and rocky cliffs along the way. Find secret sandy beaches while hearing stories about the area from your local guide. Leaving the coast, head out to Quail Island, the largest of the three islands in the harbor and learn about its rich local history.

    Paddle past a ship’s graveyard, with it's the three partially sunken steamships. Lunch is provided on Quail Island or one of the many small beaches in the local area. On Quail Island, you'll have some free time to explore the island or relax by the beach. Circumnavigate the island and visit the sea cliffs and caves at the Northern far end of the island before heading back to the beach where you departed from.

    At the end of the tour you will be dropped off at your pickup location.
