The only way to see the Cove! - Just the very best way to experience this beautiful part of the coast! Our guide Lui was engaging, knowledgeable, professional and a lot of fun and although there was a large group of paddlers, by grouping us in a small group (4 kayaks + a guide), it felt like a private tour. A slick operation from start to finish, thank you so much!

Perfect morning out - We had a perfect time with our guide Louis (of Louie?), he took the time to explain some history of the area and made funny jokes aswell, the coffee and cookies were a nice touch to the tour as well!

Awesome trip - We were fortunate to have a sunny morning with calm sea and light wind. Georgia took us on a stunning journey around a nearby island in the conservation area and then onto cathedral cove. Excellent explanations about the geology, history and wildlife. Great people skills & perfect beach barrister!!

Just go. You will love it. - This kayak trip is not just in a beautiful part of the world but it is 3 hours of fun, great exercise but there is also lots to learn and great people to share it with. Our Guide Georgia was full of information about the local Māori history and great fun. Also a great barista. Also Mike helped me with locals view on the weather and boy did that work out well.

Kayaking and beach - Fun day out. A great experience. Super trainer/guide Georgia. The Kayaks were easy to steer as they had a rudder.
