5.00Myself and my wife loved the Kayak tour. The company were easy to deal with and due to higher winds in the morning we got delayed to a PM tour which was well communicated and explained. Our guide (Georgia) had the tempo, talking and friendliness pitch perfect which made the afternoon a real success. Very satisfied customers.
Thoroughly recommend!

5.00Brilliant kayak tour from Hayek to Cathedral Cove - great to arrive from the sea and miss the throngs of walkers on the walking track. We landed on the beach and had time to swim and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee. Very well organised and Hayden was a superb guide - kept the group together seamlessly and was a font of knowledge regarding the local geography, history and wildlife.
Amazing!

5.00Beautiful kayak tour with Georgia to Cathedral Cove. Explored cove and swam in azure, warm water. Georgia treated us to mocha/latte and cookies on beach. Delightful!

5.00My friend and I couldn't decide whether to do guided or unguided kayaking, but were very happy we booked this tour. Our guide, Tash, was absolutely lovely and shared a lot of information about the geology, wildlife, and Maori history, which we really enjoyed. We also paddled out to some islands that I probably would've been hesitant to try to reach on my own, but Tash knew exactly how much time to allow. Finally, we really enjoyed the flat whites and cookies on the beach!
Be sure to do it instead of on some motorboat
