Mission statement –
Every CUSTOMER AND STAFF MEMBER that comes through our door has a safe experience that leaves them BUZZING with a big smile and wanting to spread the word of Sea Kayak Adventure’s awesomeness and the Marlborough Sounds!
Originally known as Sea Kayaking Adventure Tours Anakiwa (SKATA), the business started from humble beginnings in the early 1990s with two Double Southern Lights and four Single Puffin sea kayaks under the ownership of Roger Reardon.
When new adventures beckoned in late 2000’s, Roger sold the business and now 2 owners later it is in the very capable hand of Aaron Price and Nat Sutton since 2013.
Today SKATA is known as Sea Kayak Adventures and while some things have changed over the years, the one thing Sea Kayak Adventures has always excelled in, is being able to give you one of the most magical experiences New Zealand has to offer.
The first thing you will notice when you come to Sea Kayak Adventures is Aaron and Nat’s enthusiasm and pride in their work, and the area they call home. Being a small business, their attitude flows down through to the guides and all other aspects of the business. Their energy is on display in the new homemade, lockdown created, unique 18 hole Mini Golf course on site.
Safety audited and a Department of Conservation concessionnaire, at Sea Kayak Adventures they make sure they are always up to and beyond all industry standards.
Sea Kayak Adventures caters for a wide variety of groups ranging from Schools, Polytech, Armed Forces and Outdoor Clubs, through to every kind of traveler you can think of. They can put together school packages within the EOTC guidelines or even run a Duke of Edinburgh trip. At Sea Kayak Adventures they love to put together special packages to suit anyone. They have a large rental fleet and the flexibility to streamline the programme to suit individual groups’ abilities and desires.
