Fabulous kayaking experience - We had a wonderful time sea kayaking with our experienced, knowledgeable guide, Helen. We learned so much about the port of Picton and its history and got up close to many wildlife, including huge stingrays, starfish, jellyfish, and many beautiful native birds. The length of the trip (3 hours) was just right, and we were warm and (mostly) dry. Highly recommend!

Wonderful kayaking trip on Queen Charlotte Sound - We had a wonderful experience seeing the Queen Charlotte Sound up close. Our guide, Helen, was very informative, professional and friendly. She made the whole tour very enjoyable with her knowledge of the area and the wildlife. The tour was well organised, safety conscious and on time. All staff who we dealt with were friendly and helpful. The bonus was a lovely sunny day with a light breeze!

Great kayak trip! - As intermediate kayakers, we thought this was a perfect time frame and challenge for us. We appreciated the thorough pre-departure safety orientation and the large map on site to illustrate our route. Jenna, our guide, provided commentary at points along the way so we learned about the region, culture, and wildlife. Trip was well-organized and staff was helpful before and after. We had a sunny, fairly calm day and that added to the beauty of the trip!
