Absolutely amazing experience! We loved every moment of it. We're huge Middle-earth fans, so there's no better way to experience this Hobbit filming location. But aside from the film connection, it's just a stunning stretch of river. Definitely try to take a swim during the kayaking trip; the water is crystal clear – really beautiful. And our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. We loved it!!

Beautiful, relaxing trip down river, with a small portion dedicated to Hobbit filming location. Tour seemed a bit short for what we paid, but was still very nice. Recommend taking water shoes/flip flops and bug spray.

Good trip down the Pelorus river with our guide, Jade. Nice scenery and calm waters most of the time (sometimes a little too calm and had to bump us off submerged rocks to get going). Jade talked us through the route and pointed out the LoTR sights along the way. Had a nice cold dip/swim after the bridge and Jade took some nice photos and video clips for us that we got on a USB when we were done. Only negative were the sandflys but they can't help those - just wear lots of repellant and don't wear perfume etc... as that seems to attract them (as my wife found out). Would have preferred double bladed paddles instead of single bladed wooden ones, but thats a personal preference.
