  Very enjoyable trip in beautiful surroundings. We had to go elswhere bevause of the weather and the communication about this was very clear and done in time. The instructor was a very relaxed person with a good sense of humor and knew a lot about the area.

  Great experience! Appreciated that they called us and arranged for us to do an earlier tour because of bad weather forecast for later. Mason was an excellent guide, really helped with launching and landing on the beach, also made us barista quality hot drinks on the beach.

  We were welcomed right on the beach. The kayaks were prepared, and we received a clear introduction. The tour was very suitable for everyone. We took a break at Cathedral Cove, where our guide Mason prepared specialty coffee for us. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

  The communication leading up to our day couldn’t have been better. Not only did they offer info for their company/our tour, also suggested other activities. I was a bit nervous doing this excursion but once it got started, had no worries at all. Our guide Lui was awesome, friendly, informative, went out of his way to get to know/chat with each participant. He took good care of our group, ensured we had our “happy day”. So happy we had that experience, can’t wait until next time we are here/from Canada again!

  Top organization. Very nice circuit in Kayak. An excellent guide, who knows how to punctuate the sea trip with cultural breaks and geological features of the site. Arrival at Cathedral by sea is magical.

  This tour was a fantastic experience! Our guide, Louie, provided expert tuition before hitting the water, and then we were off, soaking up the spectacular coastline as we paddled towards Cathedral Cove. Along the way we paused a number of times while Louie told us about the area's fascinating geology, birdlife, Maori and European history, Cathedral Cove itself was awesome, and somehow whist we were exploring the beach, Louie managed to conjure up cappuccinos and biscuits! We thoroughly recommend this tour.

  Georgia was an amazing guide, she instilled so much confidence in us all as we varied in experience Kayaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the weather was perfect, and the ocean was so clear. Truly a magical experience.

  Thank you Jody and Brad for guiding us on this kayak trip to Cathedral Cove! It was our first time kayaking on the ocean and had an amazing time. The views and entire experience were spectacular. Entire trip was about 3.5 hours total. We did have a small incident resulting with us rolling out of the kayak, during which Brad and Jody were extremely attentive and professional (everything was okay, nothing serious). We felt like we were in good hands and would definitely go again. Was nice to spend some time at the Cathedral Cove beach. Jody even made us a flat white at the beach during our kayak break! Special shout out to Brad: my wife was quite scared to go on this kayak tour -- thank you for encouraging and reassuring her. Thank you again!

  What a wonderful experience. We had a gorgeous day and Jody was an amazing guide. The water was beautiful and the rock formations are stunning. The beach at Cathedral Cove is wonderful. The kayaking is not hard at all and it was nice to have a break at the beach. This was one of the top things we did on our whole NZ trip! Highly recommend.
