5.00Great experience. Our tour guides cared about each and everyone. The Kayak Tour was great fun and we learned a lot about geology, sea life and history. On top they served coffee and cookies in our break.

5.00Had a lot of fun, really good experience. Scenery was amazing, the kayak ride was exhilarating. Guides were friendly and knowlegeable. Group size was small and intimate during the 3 hour tour. I was lucky as I manage to book a tour at the last minute, grateful for the flexibility of the staff.
Great experience! Well...

5.00Great experience! Well worth it as you spend over 3 hours and get to beach on Cathedral Cove. Brad was a great guide and shared a lot of the history of New Zealand and surrounding islands as well!
Our guide’s dad’s jokes were… just okay.

5.00A chilled sunrise kayak in a small group. Lovely to be out on calm water, looking for snapper, sting ray, understanding more of the rock formation and Māori history of the area. Delicious hot chocolate on the beach at Cathedral Cove. Fabulous
Amazing

5.00Wow!! We booked this last minute and they squeezed in our family, all I can say is thank you! We had the most amazing morning with Georgia as our guide. Such a great family activity which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Such an amazing way to explore the Cathedral cove beach and coastline.

5.00The kayak tour was a great expierence with lots of stops on the water where our guides told us facts and historical notes about the area, the names and the local seelife. We even did a little improvised "sail boat" with our kajaks. At the end we were all physically tired but happy about the rich afternoon!

5.00Great experience! In addition to the beautiful scenery, Shae and Hayden, our two guides were kind and endlessly patient with plenty of stories to tell. Cathedral Cove kayaking, This feeds both the eyes and the mind, we highly recommend. The only downside: is that now our youngest thinks she's a pirate.:-)
Awesome tour!
