Brilliant day out! We did the afternoon half day. Lunch was supplied with refreshments. The highlight was ripping out the sail and making a raft with our kayaks. We got some speed on! Daz, Jack and the team were fantastic.
Stunning views at a leisurely pace and our guide was so friendly and bery informative.
My mom and two best friends came to visit me while I was living in New Zealand for a year and we decided last minute to do the kayak tour. It was such an amazing time and our guide was wonderful! We had a lovely morning and would recommend for anyone. Only wish we had gone a bit further...next time we will book a full day!

Kayak Tour mit Traumkulisse
Sehr zu empfehlen für Anfänger bis hin zu Sportlern die Meer, goldene Tropenstrände, Robben, sowie heimische Vögel erkunden und sehen möchten. Wir hatten eine schöne kleine Gruppe (6 Personen) und einen klasse Guide der genau so freundlich war, wie der Wettergott, der uns die Sonne und ruhige See beschert hat. Wir haben sehr viel über den Nationalpark, die Kultur der Maori und über Neuseeland erfahren. Auch das ganze Team war sehr freudlich zu uns. Zum Schluss gab es nach dem Essen am Strand und der spannenden Rückfahrt noch Handtücher und saubere Duschen um sich noch mal frisch zu machen. Macht die Tour. Es lohnt sich!
