This was an excellent activity - a real memorable highlight of our 3 week trip around NZ. The kayaks were stable and easy to manoeuvre and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Marvellous fun and the sight in Cathedral Cove is stunning. Other family members had done this activity and it was on my bucket list. It didn’t let me down. Paddling in the bay was gorgeous and getting close to the natural beauty was worth every paddle. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.

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

Excellent adventure seeing beautiful scenery. We had plenty of sun but with a little bit of wind. We appreciated the outfit encouraged us to switch to AM because of the wind. Thank you! The kayaks were nice and stable and in good shape. Ollie was outstanding with his attention to detail, with personal interaction with all participants and fun and educational stories of the area. We will strongly recommend this outfit!
