This was a very peaceful and enjoyable float. Even with the weather being overcast, we had a great time kayaking. Eloise was a fantastic guide. She took care of everything and answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend the trip with her.

George was amazing guiding us through the Wataiko River. Felt very safe and lovely paddling down the river. It was raining but still was a lovely adventure. Would do this again!
