5.00Cannot recommend this company enough!!! I took a school group of 12 from Australia to Picton to do the Queen Charlotte Track and the sea kayaking. The guides Jake and Shaun were excellent! They were so knowledgeable, fun and enjoyable to be around. Martyn and Hayley had exceptional communication skills leading up to our trip and we were very pleased with how they managed and oversaw our trip, including accommodation and transfers. Our students rated this trip an 11/10! We will definitely be booking this again 😊
Fabulous in spite of my feet!

5.00Walking the Queen Charlottee track is an amazing experience. Walking with this company made it unforgettable. Wilderness guides are efficient and friendly. Our guide Alex even provided plunger coffee every day. He was supported by a great team in the office.

5.00We had a magical day kayaking in the Queen Charlotte sound followed by a hike from Davies Bay to Mistletoe Bay on the Queen Charlotte track. Our kayak guide, Gina, was fabulous and took us into some secluded bays and we even kayaked through a hole on the rock. The independent hike was easy to follow and took us up the top to some fabulous views. It took us around 3 hours to reach Mistletoe Bay and we had time for a swim and an ice cream, then the mail boat ferry picked us up and we were back in Picton by 4:30 pm. It was a day I’ll always remember. I recommend this very highly,

5.00We spent three weeks in New Zealand and the kayak and hike of Queen Charlotte was one of our favorite activities. Jack, our guide on the kayak, was a great instructor and a knowledgeable guide. The walk was absolutely stunning, with a stop for a delicious packed lunch at the overlook. WOW!
Fun and Joyful Trip
