##About
Looking for an active day? Join us for a full day of adventure combining a morning hike through endemic ancient forest down our private walking track to Pohatu bay and join our sea-kayaking safari in the afternoon to encounter Pohatu marine reserve wildlife.
After being picked up in Akaroa by our booking office you will be transported by 4WD mini-van to the beginning of a 3 hours hiking trail (regular to relaxed pace). With a map and instructions from your guide you will, at your leisure, walk down part of the famous Banks Track through ancient red beech tree forest and tree ferns to Pohatu bay.
Along the way discover many waterfalls and listen to native bird songs and visit the prehistoric forest of Tutakakahikura scenic reserve with trees over 400 years old.
Once arrived at Pohatu bay you will have access to a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities to relax, eat and get ready for the afternoon sea-kayaking safaris starting at 12.45pm.
##Tour Includes
- Scenic drive by 4WD mini vans from Akaroa
- Photos stops along the way with commentary about the area
- Fully guided by experienced staff
- All kayaking gear (life jackets, dry jackets, spray deck, dry bags for cameras)

**Sea Kayaking**
If a kayaking trip has to be cancelled before leaving Akaroa due to strong winds or warnings, several options would be offered:

**What if the weather is unpredictable and or variable?**
At Pohatu Penguins we try our best to predict the weather to ensure an enjoyable and safe tour. Sometimes, we won't know if kayaking is suitable until we reach the bay or the wind has unexpectedly changed. If this is the case there are several options for our kayakers:
Option 1: An immediate return with a 50% refund and no further wildlife guiding can be expected to see penguins or other wildlife.
Option 2: Join a 4-hour Full Scenic Nature Tour (same pricing and length of time).
Option 3: Join a 2-hour Nature Tour ($65/adult, $35/child – refunded difference).
**Rainy day policy**
When living in an island nation like New Zealand, the weather us hard to predict and can quickly change; sunny one minute then pouring with rain the next and this even in the middle of summer.
Offering outdoor activities, we may sometimes get rained on. We do not cancel our tours due to rainy days; it is just part of experiencing this wild country.
In saying that, all of our best wildlife viewing is usually when it's raining, especially on our Evening penguin tours.
Just remember to always bring a rain coat to New Zealand, just in case. We all hope for a beautiful sunny day but rain or shine our guides will give you an authentic New Zealand experience.
In consideration of the above no refund can be expected in the event of rain.
A 10% service charge applies to all other cancellation refunds.
