Hours: 8.00 to 9.00pm

Kayak the amazing Pohatu Marine reserve for a wildlife adventure. Apart from the stunning scenery in this remote Bay on the outer coast you may see little penguins as it is NZ largest mainland colony which lives here, Many Sea birds are often pointed out and we are often visited by the world smallest Dolphin the Hectors Dolphins, We always take time to stop and watch our very friendly seal pups in the seal nursery and on calm days can even get into some of the many sea caves , all while taking in the breath-taking scenery. To get you out there, we pick you up in our 4x4 mini bus in Akaroa and take you up and over the back roads of Banks peninsula. You will enjoy breath-taking views of Akaroa harbour and the endless Pacific oceans during the ride with photo stops before heading down to the bay.
