Great location, great weather and great tour guide. 9km of coastline kayaking with beautiful scenery. Well worth it and not too hard on the old body.

We have kayaked across the world. Our guide, Jake(I think), made this the best experience we’ve had on our trip to New Zealand. Yes, take the tour for to the sites. We saw seals, star fishes, ray, jelly fish and many, many birds. And take the tour because of Jake. He made sure to spend one on one time with all the couples. I learned more about kayaking from him than all other guides summed up.
